“ Parts of our genome simply cannot survive a situation where the environment suffers from the full overload of toxins we currently live in. Kat Lahr
“ A DNA sequence for the genome of bacteriophage ΦX174 of approximately 5,375 nucleotides has been determined using the rapid and simple 'plus and minus' method. The sequence identifies many of the feat… Frederick Sanger
“ Adam & Eve have been degraded, reduplicated forever, photocopies of photocopies, mistakes copied, magnified, augmented. Johnny Rich
“ Science has discovered that, like any work of literature, the human genome is a text in need of commentary, for what Eliot said of poetry is also true of DNA: 'all meanings depend on the key of interp… Jonah Lehrer
“ Every new discovery about the genome is consistent with evolution having happened. Whether we find it appealing or not is another question, but personally I like being fourth cousin to a mushroom and… Richard Fortey
