Pretty remarkable. And good that it was discovered in our neck of the woods .

You know that Philip Chance who occasionally posts here is/was a pretty renowned researcher in molecular biology at U of W! He in fact developed a number of methods for identifying genes.

Didn't know that! Thanks Myles.

The remarkable thing about this is that mankind thinks it knows everything only to find it really knows nothing.
Science has done a bit but they are really enslaved to the money machine. So what do we really know.....
given that man has only been here a split second of the supposed time scale, not much I suspect.

This reminds me of the movie Contact where they discover another message hidden in the first message received from space.

No, mankind does not think it knows everything. We know more than we did yesterday, and we will know more tomorrow.

Remember this has all come out of the government funded research for The Human Genome Project. This and future discoveries will change how we look at disease and perhaps even extend the human lifespan.
