Duons: Parallel Gene Code Defies
Evolution
• by Jeffrey P. Tomkins, Ph.D. *
• Researchers have just characterized a new,
previously hidden genetic code embedded
within the same sections of genes that code
for proteins—utterly defying all naturalistic
explanations for its existence.
• In addition to supplying many different types
of genetic code that regulate function, the
genome also provides highly complex coded
templates for making a wide diversity of
functional RNA molecules and proteins.
• Protein-coding genes—those containing the
key information to make proteins—hold the
most-studied type of genetic code. Some of the
most important chunks of code in genes are
the exons, which specify the actual template
for protein sequences.
• In exons, three consecutive DNA letters form
what is called a codon, and each codon
corresponds to a specific amino acid in a
protein. Long sets of codons in genes contain
the protein-making information that ends up
being translated into entire proteins that may
be hundreds of amino acids in length.
• Before this study, scientists were aware that
the protein-coding regions of genes had
mysterious signals other than codons that told
the cell machinery how to regulate and
process the RNA transcripts (copies of genes)
prior to making the protein. Researchers
originally thought that these regulatory codes
and the protein template codes containing the
codons operated independently of each other.
• In reality, the new results showed that these codes
actually work both separately and together. While one set
of codons specifies the order of amino acids for a protein,
the very same sequence of DNA letters also specifies
where necessary cellular machinery (transcription factors)
are to bind to the gene to make the RNA transcript that
codes for a protein. As a result of this new discovery, these
dual-function code sites in exons have been labeled
“duons.” Scientists just last year reported that
transcription factors clamped onto some exons inside
genes but did not understand this dual code system until
now.
• The human mind struggles to comprehend the
overall complexity of the genetic code—especially
the emerging evidence showing that some genes
have sections that can be read both forward and
backward.3Some genes overlap parts of other
genes in the genome, and now it has been
revealed that many genes have areas that contain
dual codes within the very same sequence
• Even the most advanced computer programmers
can’t come close to matching the genetic code’s
incredible information density and bewildering
complexity. An all-powerful Creator appears to be
the only explanation for this astounding amount
of seemingly infinite bioengineering in the
genome.
