This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

No, they are saying that there
may be different alleles which produce a similar phenotype. They are  
talking about expressed DNA. It's not a matter of having a couple of  
different bases which make no difference on the result. The coded  
proteins may differ in structure yet not in function.
