Gene Networks
The article linked above provides the latest news in the search for genes related to obesity. It turns out that genes are triggered in cascades of activity (expression) dubbed as "networks" by the researchers. I have been using the metaphor that our genes play out the music of our lives in their expression patterns and here is the proof! This research should lead to insights concerning the type of obesity that particular individuals are likely to develop should they over eat.
Great stuff.
