Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the request for resources and references related to gene interaction, with a focus on understanding the different types of interactions, including gene-gene and protein-protein interactions, as well as their implications in biological functions such as learning processes.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • drdolittle seeks references for gene interaction, specifically mentioning an interest in how genes relate to various bodily functions.
  • Some participants inquire about the specific type of interaction being sought, distinguishing between gene-gene interactions and protein-protein interactions.
  • There is a suggestion that gene-gene interactions may involve deeper probing compared to protein-protein interactions, though this is questioned by another participant.
  • One participant challenges the assumption that one type of interaction is more in-depth than the other, emphasizing that they represent different levels of cellular function.
  • drdolittle clarifies the need for information on genes related to functions during learning and how such information is encoded in genes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the nature of gene-gene versus protein-protein interactions, and there is no consensus on the depth of probing implied by these interactions. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific type of information needed.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved assumptions regarding the definitions of gene-gene and protein-protein interactions, as well as the specific context in which drdolittle is seeking information.

What kind of interaction are you looking for?

Gene-gene interaction (http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/info/reports/research/gene_gene.htm )
gene-protein interaction

or do you mean protein-protein interaction

I presume gene-gene interaction is like probing furthur compared to protein-protein interaction...am I right?

Why do you need the information? If you aren't sure which you're looking for, how do you know you need it? :confused: One isn't probing further than the other, it's looking at different levels of cellular function.
 
well let me tell it succintly...i need information about the genes that are responsible for different functions in the body and the different activities we do.For example during learning process,and how that information is encoded in gene.

regards
