Inappropriate usage of genetic code

[edit]

In its present form this article makes a very bad usage of the term genetic code. The genetic codes of humans, monkeys, rats and many other very distantly related living organisms are all absolutely identical. What the well intentioned editors wanted to mean instead of genetic code was probably genome. Please correct if I am right, and please explain if I am wrong. -- Sophos II (talk) 23:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your note. For this article, perhaps "genes" makes more sense. There are certainly variations in the genetic code, but that isn't really relevant to tumorigenesis. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The change is perfect. --Sophos II (talk) 11:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
