"According to a painstaking new analysis of 1% of the human genome, genes can be sprawling, with far-flung protein-coding and regulatory regions that overlap with other genes." | "According to a painstaking new analysis of 1% of the human genome, genes can be sprawling, with far-flung protein-coding and regulatory regions that overlap with other genes." | ||

It may also be that a sequence which expresses a protein may share nucleotide with a sequence which functions to regulate gene expression, causing entropy to both genes simultaneously, which can be understood by the statement of Dr. John Stamatoyannopoulos<ref>[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/12/131212142151.htm Genetic Variability by Design] by [[John Stamatoyannopoulos]].

“The fact that the genetic code can simultaneously write two kinds of information means that many DNA changes that appear to alter protein sequences may actually cause disease by disrupting gene control programs or even both mechanisms simultaneously.” | “The fact that the genetic code can simultaneously write two kinds of information means that many DNA changes that appear to alter protein sequences may actually cause disease by disrupting gene control programs or even both mechanisms simultaneously.” | ||
This poses a great conundrum for evolution theory. Evolutionists claim that the base mechanism of evolution is mutations which increasing genetic information and ultimately define new anatomical structures and biological function. Yet many mutations cause genetic entropy which is compound because of the compressed nature of genomes. Therefore, to believe that accruing mutation designs new information, features and functions is like believing that one can walk uphill by taking one step forward and two steps backward, and any claim that a mutation which is fixed in a genome should be considered | This poses a great conundrum for evolution theory.
