allright, this is really dorky, but i was reading through an optional lecture my teacher posted (but couldn’t get to in class) and there was this cool picture about control of DNA transcription through methylation of the cytosine in DNA to 5-methylcytosine. I just thought it was amazing that millions of years of evolution created a complex DNA transcription protection, and that it did so through random chance.

i think the only thing i got out of school is an ability to think in this rediculously complex language, i have to say i enjoy it though.

if anyone else is interested in a little more great science info, then check out this article, it has a lot of great insight into the world of science today, it’s at least fairly well written, and easy to understand
