Preparing for Casual Friday at the Genome Lab

'Sequence my genome? They don't even know I exist.'

'As this slide indicates, sometimes identifying genes is, in fact, quite easy.'

The Lawn Gegnome Project

The dna double helix, with a human family taking the place of the dna rungs (or bases), illustrating genetic inheritance within the family

'Sequence my genes? They don't even know I exist.'

'Apparently Craig Venter conducted his 'artificial wife' experiments in this house.'

'Despite all the work that has been put into it, it's clear that the genome code is not a get-rich-quick scheme.'

Genetic Engineering - biohazards dept.

"No movie deals, no endorsements, no product tie-ins..."

Mother and child riding a DNA rollercoaster.

Gifts for a cloned baby!

"Something's wrong with the broccoli. Please take it back to the kitchen and have it genetically modified."

"We think it has something to do with your genome."

"My problem is a recessive gene for honesty and a dominant gene for robbery."

Now that we've developed lungs, it's only a matter of time before we feel guilty about not exercising.

School. I like solving problems with X's and Y's, so I'll probably go into either math or genetics!

"I've been genetically modified!"

Gene Therapy

Another Screw-up at the Genetics lab. FLASH! What idiot thought of putting a firefly gene in an elephant?!

Recombinant DNA Lab. To-da! The palindromedary!

Ideas that failed: Goliath Goats.

'That's interesting -- I seem to have discovered the gene that makes people want to become geneticists.'

'The future of medicine' "It's genomics." "I'd say proteins." "Same as always: economics."

'Darling, we were made for each other.'

'He's got your tattoos.'

DNA Xmas.

"Fortunately I hold the patent for the gene that's causing the ringing in your ears, and I can refer you to the doctor who holds the patent for the gene that's causing the pain in your ears."
