DNA is known for… DNA needs…
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted November 7, 2007 in DNA Fun
Here’s a fun little meme David Bradley of Sciencebase pinged me with yesterday. Using Google, see what results from a search for ["DNA is known for"]. David found some interesting ones from a search for ["Scientists are known for"].
DNA is known for…
- its complex mosaic structure
- catching criminals for crimes committed decades and decades ag
- its immunostimulatory activity in vertebrates

And another fun Google Meme I saw at minutiae - go to Google, type in your name + “needs” and see what pops up.
DNA needs…
- the shade
- to stand up and be counted
- to be protected by law
- to be slowed down
- to be genetically resistant but also adaptive
- to undergo change
OK. OK. I’ll stop wasting time now.
