Have been working on zero X hadn't realised how much genetics I had forgotten. Why didn't I write a fic with protein biochemistry instead, I know about protein biochemistry.
I haven't thought much about eukaryotic (basically anything more complex than bacteria) gene expression since my degree. This chapter would be a lot easier if people were bacteria. Bacterial gene regulation is easy, I do it on a pratically daily basis in the lab. I could pretend they're the same as bacteria most people wouldn't know the difference. *headdesk* I'm too much of a science geek it would bug me way too much *goes back to textbook on gene regulation kept from my final year*.
I have more sympathy for the complete crap they spout when explaining the 'science' bits in films now.
