break it down for us, Such. :D

From the study:
"...Open any introductory biology textbook and one of the first things you'll learn is that our DNA spells out the instructions for making proteins, tiny machines that do much of the work in our body's cells. Results from a study published on Jan. 2 in Science defy textbook science, showing for the first time that the building blocks of a protein, called amino acids, can be assembled without blueprints - DNA and an intermediate template called messenger RNA (mRNA). A team of researchers has observed a case in which another protein specifies which amino acids are added."

In other words, one of the main dogmas of genetics is becoming questionable - i.e. the genetic code may not be the only/main driver/blueprint of organismic assembly. The environment may be a much more important factor for organismic assembly than science thought. Long story short - organisms are probably much more dynamic, structurally pliable and environmentally dependent than their genetic code would have you believe.
