@sapinker @aylwyn_scally and evolutionary biologist should also take their share for making literature with molecules.

@sapinker Mol. biologists should have stuck with cistron -
@aylwyn_scally@sapinker Sorry I'm late for this but I disagree. The fuzzy gene concept (= ensemble of trcrptn units, not just cistrons) 1/2 -
@jdenavascues@sapinker yeah was half joking. But the mol biol rush to identify physical gene has proven to be somewhat counter productive -
@aylwyn_scally@sapinker … for conceptual discussions in evolutionary biology, you mean :) -
@jdenavascues@sapinker of course! -
@aylwyn_scally@sapinker Perhaps we should only talk about hereditons and transcriptrons

@sapinker@Evolutionistrue I blame the prevalence of vacuity in journalism. Simplicity is easier to compose and sell than complexity. -
@fran_b__@sapinker@Evolutionistrue A desire for earth-shattering headlines helps ... -
@sirdansmith@sapinker@Evolutionistrue Along with Ripley's Believe It or Not and Ripping Yarns and advertising by the bucketload. -
@fran_b__@sirdansmith@sapinker@Evolutionistrue Hey! What did we ever do to you?#Ouch#BrandsHaveFeelingsToo -
@Ripleys@fran_b__@sapinker@Evolutionistrue You compulsively ego-searched for brand references, then spammed us ...

@sapinker Sorry. That's what a gene is. Plus a few RNA genes. They don't code for traits. Classical Genetics is bullshit.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker Not to mention that protein-coding genes themselves have non-coding regulatory & promoter sequences. Dobbs owns his failure.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker We have tRNA genes, rRNA genes, miRNA genes lncRNA genes... all clearly in the literature for those who can be bothered.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker I'm a molecular biologist and I don't define "gene" as protein-coding DNA. Not our fault when journalists get it wrong.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker Molecular biologists deserve blame for journalists' "confusion" cuz they (MBs) are confused themselves. That is good not bad:)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
