Siddhartha Mukherjee Quote: “The notes were cryptic, spontaneous, and raw. On one page, he drew a diagram that would return to haunt his thoughts: rather than all species radiating out from the central hub of divine creation, perhaps they arose like branches of a “tree,” or like rivulets from a river, with an ancestral stem that divided and subdivided into smaller and smaller branches toward dozens of modern descendants.”

Siddhartha Mukherjee Quote: “The most extreme novelty seekers-the greatest among the Gatsbys-seemed virtually addicted to stimulation and excitement. Scores aside, even their test-taking behavior was temperamental. They left questions unanswered. They paced the room, trying to look for ways to get out. They were frequently, hopelessly, maddeningly bored.”

Siddhartha Mukherjee Quote: “A gene,” Beadle wrote in 1945, “can be visualized as directing the final configuration of a protein molecule.” This was the “action of the gene” that a generation of biologists had been trying to comprehend: a gene “acts” by encoding information to build a protein, and the protein actualizes the form or function of the organism.”

Siddhartha Mukherjee Quote: “Genes, the Pajama paper argued, were not just passive blueprints. Even though every cell contains the same set of genes – an identical genome – the selective activation or repression of particular subsets of genes allows an individual cell to respond to its environments. The genome was an active blueprint – capable of deploying selected parts of its code at different times and in different circumstances.”

Siddhartha Mukherjee Quote: “Six decades and two years, no more than a passing glance of time, separate Mendel’s initial experiments on peas and the court-mandated sterilization of Carrie Buck. Yet in this brief flash of six decades, the gene had transformed from an abstract concept in a botanical experiment to a powerful instrument of social control.”
