The Complexity of the genome

About three years ago  the human genome was  mapped, and named The  Book of Life. It appeared as if life started revealing some of its secrets. Soon diseases will be uniquely  defined and in the future their faulty genes will be replaced with healthy ones. Investors rushed to reap the new discoveries only to find out  that the Book fails to deliver the goods they hoped for. Actually the Book is not smarter than a telephone directory. Why then invest in a list of names?

True the Book is a blueprint of the organism.  Each gene is located at the  origin of an assembly line of proteins. Unfortunately the mapping of  gene to protein is not one to one as molecular biologists claim. It is one to many

First of all there seems to be no correlation between the number of genes in the Book and the complexity of an organism. While the human genome consists of  25000 genes  a worm has 19000. and  a plant has  26000 genes. The complexity is generated all along the protein assembly line. Yet molecular biology still operates under the guidance of  the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. Information flows irreversibly from DNA to RNA to protein and  the mapping from DNA to protein is one to one. Recent discoveries reveled that this mapping is actually one to many. With alternative splicing one gene may serve as template for many proteins. Recently discovered micro RNAs  control the way messenger RNA copies the DNA gene, increasing the repertory of proteins which are coded from one gene even more. The mapping is one to exponentially many.

The reason for the excitement with the Book of Life was the naïve belief  that it will inform us about diseases and their  cure.  Molecular biologists claim that diseases are  gene aberrations.  You take the genome of a sick person spread it on a DNA chip  which is an array of gene products, and compare it with the DNA chip of a healthy one. With special dyes you make the deviant genes  shine , and you can uniquely define a disease.  To your dismay you find out that many genes lit up. You are dealing with a fairly large set of aberrant genes, and wonder which one should be replaced in order to cure the patient?

When the first genes were discovered, geneticists believed that the so called genetic diseases are caused by a change of a single gene. Soon they realized that most if not all diseases are caused by changes in many genes. Diseases are polygenic. How come that they still attempt to replace single genes? Since they regard the changes in other genes as negligible or irrelevant.
