The club seems to be a place where all the IDiots on campus come together to advertise their ignorance of science. Sort of like the Luddite societies of the early nineteenth century. <BR/><BR/>None of the students seem to have a clue about biology. I guess that's why they need so much help.

The best guesses are about 22,000 give or take a thousand or so. <BR/><BR/>I think we're honing in on the right number as the genome annotation nears completion. I doubt there are less than 20,000 and it's unlikely that there are more than 24,000.Larry Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756598746605455848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-26709807148416376652007-02-17T11:10:00.000-05:002007-02-17T11:10:00.000-05:00How reliable is that gene number?

I've even seen below 20000 as another number.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030851391664132296noreply@blogger.com
