    Hi,

    I’m looking for a simple and easy simile for imprinting. In keeping with the metaphor of the Genome as a script, I was thinking of the use of white out (tipp-ex). This would give the idea that the script is undetected to the cellular mechanism but remains underneath.

    Anyone spot some major problems with this, apart from the fact that its hopelessly simplistic?
