Matt Ridley Quote
The filament of D N A is information, a message written in a codeof chemicals, one chemical for each letter. It is almost too good to betrue, but the code turns out to be written in a way that we can understand.Just like written English, the genetic code is a linear language,written in a straight line. Just like written English, it is digital, in thatevery letter bears the same importance. Moreover, the language ofDNA is considerably simpler than English, since it has an alphabetof only four letters, conventionally known as A, C, G and T.
