by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted April 18, 2008 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
Dr. Robert Green, professor of neurology, genetics and epidemiology at Boston University School of Medicine, in Genome scans go deep into your DNA by Anna Gosline:
Genetic information has a special power. It has a feel of fate about it, a sense of inevitability, that sense that, “Oh, you are marked.”
