The explosion of data on genomes and population genetics in the twenty-first century has not only lent new support to my 42-year-old theory; it has also uncovered broad new areas of research. Our knowledge of the structure and function of proteins, for example, has been greatly expanded through the discovery of dynamic folding processes.
二十一世纪基因组和群体遗传学的数据爆炸在开拓全新研究领域的同时支持了我在42年前提出的理论。比方说，动态折叠过程的发现大大拓宽了我们对蛋白质结构和功能的认识。人们认为上述过程提供了或许与近中性突变有关的蛋白质功能的灵活性。
