So, what does p16INK4a (or even p16^INK4a) mean? 82.18.21.208 10:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean? That's not in the article. Maybe you should ask that question in the Reference Desk. Speaking of confusing stuff, what's with the fraction and symbols in the beginning? Is that part of the article? --JDitto 05:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

It looks like it was accidentally inserted during this edit. I have removed them. --Arcadian 05:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Accidentally? Oh well. Thank you for your assistance. Have a nice day. --JDitto 05:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

In the last sentence of the first paragraph where it says that genome mapping is about saying what function is associated with a locus is reaching. Genome mapping is knowing what alleles are where. The purpose of these alleles is still largly unknown even as the Genome map is finished. So maybe it is true that, now, genome mapping wants to replace alleles with their biological function, but as the definition of mapping, this is reaching. Dave44000 21:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
