Headlong into a Genomic Singularity
A commentary on Expression genetics and the phenotype revolution. Many biologists have been struck by how preposterous it is to apply the term " post-genomics " to any aspect of our fi eld. Estimates of gene number have fi nally settled to a comfortably low asymptote, but the dam has broken on the RNA front, revealing an impressive level of ignorance and mystery.
