Memory

I suggest DNA stably encodes 3 kinds of information:

1  Base sequence specifies RNA (and so amino acid) sequence.

2  Bound transcription factors self-assemble into factories

determining cell fate and tissue organization. 

3  Factories also store/process enduring neural memories!

See: Cook, P.R. (2026).

On the molecular basis of enduring memory in neurons, and cell fate in fibroblasts.
