Not particularly surprising (that some sequences just don't work in some species is well known among gene plumbers), and not at all exciting. Kauffman would probably just shrug his shoulders, and do a "told you so". I do not see the point in using these sequences as tags (combinatorial explosions makes even short random sequences unique), and as to a suicide gene, there are plenty of toxins. They're a bit larger, admittedly. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
