Numsgil:
Yep, I like that too
Zinc Avenger:
Anything that makes conditions easy to evolve is a good thing! The current system is too unwieldy.

BTW, in October 19 issue of Science there are two papers describing unusual genes. In one, genome consists of hundreds of tiny chromosomes and genes are coded as small fragments on different chromosomes. Once in RNA form, these fragments are "stitched" together, forming the final mRNA that is translated. In the other one, genes have their beginning and end swapped. For example, a gene "computer" would be coded as "uter-comp". The resulting RNA is then joined together at its ends (bringing comp and uter together), forming a circle. The circle is then cut in the correct place to generate the correct gene.
Just shows how flexible genetic material can be.
Peter:
I know some,well most genes are sepparated in junk-dna and 'normal'-dna, (introns, outtrons, is this correct in english)after they are translated to m-rna, the introns(junk-dna) are being spliced from it.
I haven't heard of gene that lies in different chromosomes. There are many strange things that lies in dna. There cannot really be explained why. Atleast not jet
Numsgil:
The real process is wondrously complex. All those different stages each allow for some interesting variations from "normal". By comparison, any DNA schemes for DB look hollow and incomplete.
