DNA Quote: Merchants of Immortality by Stephen S. Hall
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted March 28, 2008 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
This was keyboard biology: you could type in the DNA letters of the gene for telomerase found in yeast or Euplotes just as you would type a word or phrase into a search engine like Google, punch a button, and send supercomputers electronically scurrying through vast digital tracts of human DNA sequences, looking for a proximate match – that is, for homology.
