'Morse Code' Used by Human Cells?

Even if the Morse code usage has almost disappeared, it was a very efficient
communication protocol. Now, researchers from several universities and drug
companies in the U.K. have discovered that our cells are also using
Morse-like signals to switch genes on and off. In this news release, the
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) writes that
this discovery may have major implications for the pharmaceutical industry.
Better and more efficient drugs would only deliver the signals to our cells
that will activate a desired behavior. Sounds like science fiction? Read

This research is featured as the cover story of the January 2005 issue of
Business, the quarterly magazine of the BBSRC. Here is a link to this full
issue (PDF format, 32 pages, 1.08 MB). The article about "A Morse code in
cells?" appears on pages 16 and 17.
