[QUOTE="ChetSinger, post: 67178664, member: 146389"] Hello Mark. I'm going to ask a question that's a little sideways. But I don't want to derail your thread so I'll shut up if you consider it not relevant. But, given that the ENCODE project has discovered more than 4 million gene-control switches in the human genome, many in areas previously considered to be junk, is it still possible to attempt to measure percent similarity between species without taking these switches into consideration? That is, it seems to me that conclusions based on gene-similarity comparisons should be put on the back burner until we can include switch-similarity comparisons. [/QUOTE]
