Genetic Preservation - Human Gene Bank?

Then there is the quagmire of partial dominance. Also you fail to mention the role of epi-genetics, which means in a nutshell, there are mechanisms in place that turn on and off varius genes in relation to environmental stimuli, regardless of dominance. There is a can of worms I don't think we should open here, but it is far more complicated an issue than you seem to realise.

Oh very much agreed. With our cybernetic culture we are conditioned to think of the genome as a linear data tape ... when it seems that the dimensionality and layering of info is almost fractally complex. Futurists' bold predictions of a fully mechanistic science of medicine will have to be postponed a little ... cn

The further we look down the rabbit hole, the deeper it seems to go. Plus the fact that DNA is quartenary and readable in BOTH directions blows my mind and I've been trying to get around it for years!
