Iced and decorated cake

I enjoy using metaphors to help me understand concepts: Genomics is the recipe book, DNA is the recipe and RNA is the ingredients. A combination of different bases can affect different traits in us; in the same way different recipes and ingredients give very different cakes e.g. lemon cake, chocolate cake, fruit cake. Genomics is essential to life. Cake is life.
