pathways

It has come to my attention that threshing through cell signaling transduction papers (for instance this) is a lot like reading the Bible's Old Testament - this kinase phosphorylates these kinases, which then phosphorylate 3 other kinases and act on kinases in other pathways, which then go on to activate this kinase and these 3 transcription factors, akin to so-and-so begat 3 sons, who each begat 4 sons, who then all begat 7 sons and founded this tribe over here, which had conflict with that other tribe...

Okay, maybe not exactly, but close enough.
