Sequence of genes
With Project Genome they'll soon be home
and know the sequence of our genes.
We look forward to riddance of many complaints
according to what is printed in magazines.
I am amazed by the small size of our 'seeds'
for the amount of information they hold.
So, I find it unlikely therein for 'chaff' to fit in
and wait for its great purpose to unfold.
Notes by the author
All those who contributed to the Genome project are to be thanked for their hard work if it allows a better understanding of the structure, form and purpose of our body building blocks. Indeed, if, as has been predicted, the information obtained will mean an end to some of the common complaints we suffer, then it will have been a major step forward in mans control of herself (two 'politically incorrects' cancel each other out).
Some so called 'rubbish' has been found in our gene sequence, mixed in with 'healthy' C.G.A.T. chunks. When I read this I was rather surprised to say the least, and began wondering if it could have a useful purpose; Nature rarely wastes very much!
My first thought was that it might represent 'bad' mutations of the past. I realised that these would probably die out. Subsequently, it seemed more likely that if it is useful information, it may be codings for all ancestors different genes or sequences, or for viruses and/or bacteria that have attacked the 'line' so far.
