If, for example, all the codons are triplets, then in addition to the correct reading of the message, there are two incorrect readings which we shall obtain if we do not start the grouping into sets of three at the right place.

It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code.

The cosmic joke to this project is that all of the groups donating DNA secretly programmed sequences to cause their genetic strand to be predominant. This set the precedent for eternal conflict.

The siblings often had a series of identical genetic markers along a chromosome—segments they inherited from one of their parents.

Like cold-causing rhinoviruses, influenza viruses manage to wreak their harm with very little genetic information—just thirteen genes.

In a study of fifty patients with SARS, they discovered a virus growing in two of them. The virus belonged to a group called coronaviruses, which includes species that can cause colds and the stomach flu. Peiris and his colleagues sequenced the genetic material in the new virus and then searched for matching genes in the other patients. They found a match in forty-five of them.

Something must happen to 'stir up their heredities,' as I am fond of saying—to excite in them the variability that normally lies dormant," Burbank later explained
