Talk: Genetics
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Once a page is protected, can it become unprotected? This page still needs a bit of work.
- Genomics is not applied genetics. I have no idea of how anyone could have that impression. The genome is all of the genetic material of an organism. It is all of the individual genes, including how they are connected and how they interact with each other. It is as abstract (if not more so) than traditional genetic analysis.
- This page should link to epigenetic inheritance
Unprotected. There is no reason why it should have been protected and was probably done on accident. --mav
Mjanich, thanks for adding all the new information to this article, but please search for and use internal wikilinks if they exist. Wikipedia is supposed to be a self-contained encyclopedia. External links are fine, but internal links are better if they exist (e.g. New Scientist). Also, if they should exist, i.e. are encyclopedia-worthy or otherwise notable, creating a link to an empty page creates an incentive for somebody to create a page on that subject! Thanks. --Lexor 08:54, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Timeline
"1945 - Genes code for one protein" Does this refer to George Wells Beadle and Edward Lawrie Tatum's experiments? I was about to change the timeline to "George Wells Beadle and Edward Lawrie Tatum show that genes code . . ." but the main publication of their findings was 1941. Is the date wrong or is this timeline refering to someone else? Sayeth 17:36, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
- According to EvoWiki: History of Genetics (based on the timeline in P.J. Russel's iGenetics textbook) you're right, and 1945 is wrong. --Steinsky 18:43, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks, I corrected the article to reflect this. Sayeth 22:18, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
