Researchers have already gone to work in the spanking-new Harvard Genome Laboratory, located in the basement of the Biological Laboratories...
...sources are less important than the patterns and the possibilities of meaning hiding within them. The movement begins with Ressler in 1957, fresh from graduate school at age 25, arriving at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign to join Cyfer, a research team assembled to crack the genetic code of the DNA molecule.
