Usage Rules in DNA

The science of genetics was pioneered by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), who would have had no idea of the trouble it would bring to evolutionary conjectures. Like in other things, bigger does not necessarily mean better because bigger genomes do not mean better (more evolved).

There are misotheists who deny that DNA is a code despite what secular scientists admit, probably because this testifies of the Creator. Indeed, DNA is a language. Researchers have found that this language is more complicated than realized. It has syntax; grammar.

As you probably know, the DNA code used in genetics is comprised of only four letters: A,G,C, and T. The way they are arranged codes for amino acids and does other things. Epigenetics (above the code) regulates gene expression. To complicate matters and further frustrate evolution, the arrangement of the letters and even spacing adds further control to how DNA works.

Human languages change over time. I was thinking about something that seems relatively new, which is duplicating a word for emphasis. F'rinstance, I was late to work, but I wasn't late late. Grammarians may cringe, but people at the workplace would figure that I arrived a couple of minutes after my appointed time, but not late enough to warrant a penalty from the company. Grammar in DNA probably does not change over time, and certainly not with popular trends.

Other things have been discovered to show complicated details within all this DNA grammar regarding the making of additional codes. Yippie ky yay, atheists!

The discovery of a “spatial grammar” in the genome could “rewrite genetics textbooks,” announced an article on SciTech Daily on August 23. The finding “may unlock the secret to how gene activity is encoded in the human genome.” Let’s dive in and take a look at all the excitement.

The diving-in point is at "DNA Code Has Grammar."
