Vague correlations

This article at Rockefeller describes a new discovery which I understood must be present. The foundation chemical process which operates the cell must function in a replicative way and be inherited as well as the DNA. That mechanism of inheritance ( epigenetic ) is likely to describe the basis of the origin of life from it's chemical level. There are certain aspects of cellular process which cannot be explained by the simple gene inheritance of the DNA. It opens a rather large hole in the ability to effectively moderate or repair cell process without a holistic view of the process itself. Open source projects like littleb and even systems that were designed as games can be sources of new methods to model and understand process that is vastly more complex than any mechanical design.
