Thanks iansmith a lot,
 
I am studying about molecular biology of the gene, I have just started a few days, not really understand much about it, but i think i will never misunderstand about the details i have just learnt, believe me, that is my best part, I am a good student anyway.
ney, a little exaggerate ha..h?
Thanx!
 
I found a good way to study is via these forums.. if someone asks a question, you try and answer it using net/books! And if you're wrong, well then you learn even more..
 
Uhmm..., I will try it later,

But why didn't you give me any link or tell me what you think about Isochores ? Anything you take from your books or any places you know of are all fine...
 
Hm.. this is crazy.. the number 2 link on isochores is https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=31424 :o

here you go mate, pratical applications of isochores, but a bit hard to understand for beginners, therefore a bit hard to understand for me as well.

I didn't post a link before because i didn't even know what it was. Well.. now i do.. See, you learn a lot from these forums!
