Since the genetic code was decoded in the 1960s, experts concluded that it was used to write protein information, but in the latest report, the University of Washington team confirmed that genes use code. Genetic to write two completely different 'languages' .

A form that describes how proteins are made, ie long-known languages, while the second language instructs the cell to know how to control genes. And the two languages ​​are stacked on top of each other, with the first form in the second form, explaining why experts recently found the hidden code.

The new finding shows that DNA is really an impressive information storage device, and people have only known half the function of genetic genes for a long time. Therefore, the study promises to provide sufficient information to help experts open new doors in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
