Many-sheeted DNA: Model for Genetic Program

Matti Pitkanen

Abstract


The problems of how genes code information about the morphology of organism and how this information is expressed belong to the great puzzles of the developmental biology. A closely related mystery is the differentiation of cells.  The notion of the genetic program is far from precise and it is not clear how close the analogy with a computer program is. There are also several problems which challenge the basic dogmas of genetics.

In this second part of the article a model of genetic program will be developed and some TGD inspired ideas about regulation of morphogenesis are discussed.
