• Delete This article seems to be the only mention of the phrase "software epigene" anywhere on the internet. To be sure, epigenetics is a valid avenue of scientific exploration, but I'm pretty sure no one has yet found a way to have software alter our genetic structure or genetic expression (even temporarily) in the way this article suggests. It's a nice "wouldn't it be cool if we could do this" thought project, but it's not a reality. The single reference provided speaks of the known type of epigenetics, not this current topic, and the concept of a software epigene is a huge leap from the concepts discussed in Shenk's book.

• Delete Not only is this article largely nonsense and completely unsourced, but it is also promotion of a concept. Could well be speedy-deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:10, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
