>some sequences which will cause a ribosome to transcribe the surrounding genes differently

Not to be a negative nancy here, but if we're being precise, ribosomes do not transcribe. They translate.

Under the fairly reductive central dogma of biology: DNA -> RNA (Transcription) RNA -> Protein (Translation)

Transcription and translation are separate mechanics that don't occur in the same area of the cell, and both use very different complexes to mediate the rates of each in different physical environments.

I don't disagree with any of the substantive points being made, but I think the proper terminology only adds to your argument so I found it strange that it was left out.

It's one of the drawbacks of being an autodidact; I pretty much always have to check to be sure I'm not confusing these two similar terms, and I didn't stop to check this time. Thanks for the correction.
