    Like a mold or something molded. Like engraving plates and stamp dies. Like rubber stamps. Like marks on a paper in a copier. Like a photostatic plate. Like comic book pictures being copied with silly putty. Right?

    I may be wrong, but I thought that enzymes performed the proximate action. OC, *some* genes are responsible for those enzymes. :-)
