Again on a Saturday a few thoughts as I sit here in my Boxer shorts, having got the Saturdays off I can now have a weekend. See my latest story and the reactions it received from Caferati.
Working in a stream allied to pharmacogenomics is interesting. The other day I was explaining genomics to a friend, who is a programmer.
"See, all human being has genetic codes embedded in their various secretions and they have found that hereditory illnesses, color of hair and eyes, all are related to the absence of presence of certain codes."
"Like in a computer program. There are codes and if I change a code here, the whole appearance of the output changes."
"Well, you can say that. They have also established that if a disease is under control, or, is cured it reflects immediately in the genetic code."
"Fascinating isn't it?"
"Yes, that means we are all dependent on codes, aren't we?"
We both laughed.
