Nobel Laureate James Watson is now in a prime position to have his intelligence questioned. He just discovered his genetic makeup is 16% African! The very race of whom he claimed genetics point to them having less intelligence than whites. Go figure! Talk about poetic justice.

RNA interference (also called "RNA-mediated interference", abbreviated RNAi) is a mechanism for RNA-guided regulation of gene expression in which double-stranded ribonucleic acid inhibits the expression of genes with complementary nucleotide sequences.
