if (window.Gene's origins lie in a previous band first called "The Go Hole", named after a fictional 'Beat' club in John Clennam Holmes' novel Go, and later renamed "Sp!After cutting their teeth for several years in Woolwich, London, Sp!Their road manager Daz Walton retired as a result of the crash."The final straw for me," stated Lee, "was calling the Sp!John, disappointed with the music business, went on to become a writer.Wanting to continue together in a band, Steve Mason and Matt James recruited bass player Kevin Miles who had a long association with the band through Daz.Welshman Martin Rossiter cross the floor of the club, Mason approached him and they began to talk (a process Mason once described as "like trying to pull a lady").Falls' (a nod to the Mancunian band The Fall) shortly before the decision was made to adopt the name 'Gene'.Rossiter's eloquence and warm, emotive voice proved an effective pairing with Steve Mason's intricate pentatonic guitar riffs, whilst Kevin Miles's melodic basslines and Matt James's expertise in various rock drumming styles ensured a solid musical base for the group's successes.Breakthrough
By the time NME journalists Keith Cameron and Roy Wilkinson encountered Gene, the band had already gained some live experience and had written several songs.Cameron and Wilkinson were impressed enough to form independent record label Costermonger, created with the sole purpose of promoting Gene to a wider audience.Unsurprisingly, the limited edition of 1,994 copies sold out in two days.Select singled out 'This Is Not My Crime', calling it "strong on grand gestures and subtle instrumentation", whilst the NME claimed that 'I Can't Help Myself' was "a joyous country strum which wouldn't be out of place on Sticky Fingers."Popular success
After achieving the top spot in the UK indie chart and number 54 in the UK national chart, the band played their first UK headlining tour that included a show at London's Paradise Club which sold out immediately, cramming 800 people into the venue.The plaudits hadn't gone unnoticed by the big record companies, and Gene eventually signed a deal with Polydor Records.They adorned the covers of both the NME and Melody Maker, who voted them their 'Brightest Hope' for 1995.Their fourth single, 'Haunted By You', became the band's second Top 40 hit (reaching number 32), whilst their debut LP Olympian reached number 8 in the album chart following a plethora of excellent reviews.Glastonbury Festival, headlining Reading Festival, a tour of Japan and Europe and then a foray into the USA.He had already appeared as a guest on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and various articles speculated on his sexuality (much to Rossiter's bemusement.Fred Perry polo shirts, jeans and a very short haircut.The album charted disappointingly at number 23, and the second single from the album, 'Fill Her Up', charted at number 37 that April.It must be said that the band felt somewhat undermined by their label's lack of support and failure to market the album adequately.That album, entitled Libertine, was released in 2001 on Gene's own label, Sub Rosa Records.It is said that the band felt they were somewhat stuck in a rut, and had achieved as much as they felt they could.Gene's last live performance was played on 16 December 2004 at the London Astoria, and there are not expected to be any further recordings or appearances.Lead singer Martin Rossiter is now the manager of Access to Music Brighton and is recording a solo album.This page was last modified on 6 March 2008, at 20:41.There exist several, different accounts
of the historical development and diversification of the gene concept
as well.As a
consequence, the gene has become a hot topic in philosophy of science
around which questions of reduction, emergence, or supervenience of
concepts and theories (along with the epistemic entities they refer to)
are lively debated.Lenny
Moss recently put it (Moss 2003, xiii; see also Keller 2000).The Gene in Molecular Genetics
4.The Gene in Development and Evolution
5.It is
only in the nineteenth century that heredity became a major problem to
be dealt with in biology (Gayon 2000).With the rise of heredity as a
biological research area the question of its material basis and of its
mechanism took shape.In the second half of the nineteenth century, two
alternative frameworks were proposed to deal with this question.Two major trends are to be differentiated here.None of
these nineteenth century authors, however, thought of associating these
particles with a particular hereditary substance.They were seen as microscopic entities which, if accumulated en
masse, would make the particular traits visible for which they
stood.The masking effect of dominant traits over recessive ones
and the subsequent reappearance of recessive traits were particularly
instrumental in stabilizing this distinction (Falk 2001).Anlagen, without
permanent fixation, in the nucleus, especially in the chromosomes.On this account, genes were taken as abstract elements of an equally
abstract space whose structure, however, could be explored through the
visible and quantifiable outcome of breeding experiments based on
mutations of model organisms.From the early 1910s right into the
1930s, the growing community of researchers around Morgan and their
followers used mutants of the fruit fly Drosophila,
constructed in ever more sophisticated ways, in order to produce a map
of the fruit fly's genotype in which genes, and alleles thereof,
figured as genetic markers occupying a particular locus on one of the
four homologous chromosome pairs of the fly (Kohler 1994).The basic
assumptions that allowed the program to operate were that genes were
located in a linear order along the different chromosomes, and that the
frequency of recombination events between homologous chromosomes, that
is, the frequency of crossovers during reduction division, gave a
measure of the distance between the genes, at the same time defining
them as units of recombination (Morgan et al.Hansen
1978, Schwartz 2000).Thus
population geneticists like Ronald A.Haldane, and Sewall
Wright could make use, at the same time and with equal rigor, of that
same abstract gene and its mutant alleles in developing elaborate
mathematical models describing the effects of evolutionary factors like
selection and mutation on the genetic composition of populations.Griesemer 2000)
in reproduction, solely obeying the Mendelian laws in its transmission
from one generation to the next, the gene provided a kind of inertia
principle against which the effects of both developmental (epistasis,
inhibition, position effects etc.Nevertheless, it became the conviction of many geneticians in the
1920s, among them Morgan's student Herman J.Muller, that genes had to
be material particles.Their concomitant capability of
reproducing mutations faithfully once they had occurred, gave rise, on
this account, to the possibility of evolution.With his own experimental work,
Muller added a significant argument for the materiality of the gene,
pertaining to the third aspect of the gene as a unit of mutation.During the 1930s, the
cytogeneticist Theophilus Painter correlated formal patterns of
displacement of genetic loci on Morganian chromosome maps with
corresponding visible changes in the banding pattern of giant salivary
gland chromosomes of Drosophila.Simultaneously, Alfred Sturtevant, in his
experimental work on the Bar eye effect in Drosophila at the
end of the 1920s, had shown what came to be called a position
effect: the expression of a mutation was dependent on the position
at which the corresponding gene became inserted in the chromosome.Every step in the
realization of characters is, so to speak, a node in a network of
reaction chains from which many gene actions irradiate.But to them,
too, the material character of genes and the way these putative
entities gave rise to primary products remained elusive and beyond the
reach of their own biochemical analysis.The gene in classical genetics was already far from being a simple
notion corresponding to a simple entity.The
same can be said about the findings of Oswald Avery and his colleagues
in the early 1940s.The first of these developments was the
elucidation of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as a
macromolecular double helix by Francis Crick and James D.At the same time, that
molecular model suggested an elegant mechanism for the duplication of
the molecule.This indeed turned
out to be the case, although the duplication process would come to be
seen as relying on a complicated molecular replication machinery.The second line of experiment that formed molecular genetics was the
in vitro characterization of the process of protein
biosynthesis to which many biochemically working researchers
contributed, among them Paul Zamecnik, Mahlon Hoagland, Paul Berg,
Fritz Lipmann, Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei.In addition
it turned out that the process of amino acid condensation was mediated
by a transfer molecule with the characteristics of a nucleic acid
and the capacity to carry an amino acid.In more detail, the transfer of
information from nucleic acid to nucleic acid, or from nucleic acid to
protein may be possible, but transfer from protein to protein, or from
protein to nucleic acid is impossible.This transfer process became characterized as molecular
information transfer.Henceforth, genes could be seen as
stretches of deoxyribonucleic acid (or ribonucleic acid in certain
viruses) carrying the information for the assembly of a particular
protein.Both molecules were thus thought to be colinear, and this
indeed turned out to be the case for many bacterial genes.DNA code by
purely cryptographic means soon ran into a dead end.In the end it were
biochemists, who unraveled the genetic code by the advanced tools of
their discipline (Judson 1996, Kay 2000).DNA structure and the
mechanisms of protein synthesis.They
were assumed to be involved in the regulation of the expression of
structural information.DNA involved in the
regulatory loop of an operon was a binding site, or signal
sequence that was not transcribed at all.Since the
beginning of the 1960s, the picture of gene expression has become
vastly more complicated (for the following, compare Rheinberger 2000).Given all the bewildering details of these
elements, it comes as no surprise that their molecular function is
still far from being fully understood (for an overview see Fischer
1995).DNA
technology, and this technology has since continued to be good for
unanticipated vistas on the genome and the processing of its units.Here, portions of the original translation
product have to be cleaved and joined together in a new order before
yielding a functional protein.And finally, a recent development from
the translational field is that a ribosome can manage to translate two
different messenger RNAs into one single polypeptide.But it appears difficult, if thought through, to follow Gros' advice
of such a reverse definition, as the phenotype would come to define the
genotype.In conclusion, it can be said, as Falk (2000) reminds us, that on
the one hand, the autocatalytic property once attributed to the gene as
a unit has been relegated to the DNA at large.It has become a matter of choice as to which
sequence elements are to be included and which ones to be excluded.But they, like Richard Burian (1985), take open concepts with
a large reference potential not as a deficit to live with, but as
a potentially productive tool in science.Brosius and Gould 1993).This would at least make
sense for the autocatalytic and evolutionary dimension of the genetic
material.It would take seriously the fact that the reproductive
function ascribed to genes has turned out to be a function of the whole
genome.The replication process, that is, the transmission aspect of
genetics as such has revealed itself to be a complicated molecular
process whose versatility, far from being restricted to gene shuffling
during meiotic recombination, constitutes a reservoir for evolution and
is run by a highly complex molecular machinery including polymerases,
gyrases, DNA binding proteins, repair mechanisms, and more.Ironically, the initial idea of genes
as simple stretches of DNA coding for a protein was dissolved in this
process.Scott Gilbert (2000) has singled out six aspects of the notion of
the gene as it had been used in population genetics up to the modern
evolutionary synthesis.And finally, it was seen as a largely
independent unit.Not only have the mobile genetic elements,
characterized by McClintock more than half a century ago in Zea
mays, gained currency in the form of transposons that
regularly and irregularly can become excised and inserted all over
bacterial and eukaryotic genomes.It gives rise to the production of
potentially millions of different antibodies.No genome would be large
enough to cope with such a task if not the parceling out of genes and a
sophisticated permutation of their parts had been invented during
evolution.In short, there appears to be a whole battery of mechanisms
and entities that constitute what could be called a respiratory, or
breathing genome.Genome sequencing combined with intelligent sequence data
comparison may bring out more of this structure in the near future.If
there is a chance to understand evolution beyond the classical, itself
largely formal, evolutionary synthesis, it is from the perspective of
learning more about the genome as a dynamic and
modular configuration.The purported elementary events on
which this complex machinery operates, such as point mutations,
nucleotide deletions, additions, and oligonucleotide inversions, are no
longer the only elements of the evolutionary process, but solely one
component in a much wider arsenal of DNA tinkering.As Gilbert
(2000) argues, it is the exact counterpart to the gene of the
evolutionary synthesis.Many of these genes
or gene families, like the homeobox family, are thought to be
involved in the generation of spatial patterning during embryogenesis
as well as in its temporal patterning.And second, it appears that not only
particular homeotic genes have been highly conserved between distantly
related organisms, but that they tend to come in complexes which have
themselves been structurally conserved throughout evolution, thus once
more testifying to genomic higher order structures.These networks are obviously
highly buffered and thus robust to a considerable extent with respect
to changing external and internal conditions.Understanding these relations might offer a chance
to convey some order to the bewildering variety of meanings inscribed
in the concept of the gene in the course of a long century.Interestingly, Kenneth
Waters has argued on this basis, and against Hull, that the complexity
that was revealed by molecular genetics was simply the complexity
already posited by classical geneticists.We would finally like to address briefly two issues that are related
to the problem of reduction and have occasioned repeated discussion in
the philosophical literature.Sarkar 1996, Kay 2000,
Keller 2001).After all, there is no aspect of the phenome to whose
determination the genes cannot be said to have made their contribution.Why has talk about genes coding for this
and that become so entrenched?Waters
provides a surprising but altogether plausible epistemological answer
to this apparent conundrum (Waters, in press).He reminds us forcefully
that in the context of scientific work and research, genes are first
and foremost handled as entities of epistemological rather than
ontological value.In any case, however, it will be contingent on the future research
process, not on an ontology of life.Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.Mendel's Principles of Heredity.Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.Historical and Epistemological
