Are We so Obsessed with Technology that We Fail to Apply Basic Logic to What We See? Has the Accumulation of Data Excluded Consideration of the Quality of the Data?

Abstract

Graham Ewing

We use genetic screening to establish the genes which are responsible for the production of specific proteins. When this technique was developed it was heralded as the ultimate solution: 'the answer to life, the universe and all that'; but as time has gone on we have come to recognise that it is extremely rare to be able to link one particular gene to the production of one particular protein because the expression of proteins involves the influence of many genes.
