Genome Investigator Gifts

"Good news, Mr. Vanderfirth. We've traced your lineage back to a woman who lived in East Africa two hundred thousand years ago."

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

DNA Analysis.

"Perkins! What have you gone and done now...??"

You've determined the DNA genome for felines? What do you call it? "Helix the Cat".

Recombinant DNA Lab. To-da! The palindromedary!

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

Preparing for Casual Friday at the Genome Lab

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

'Darling, we were made for each other.'

Gene Manipulation

"We cloned DNA from Captain Cook's bookts, and grew the world's largest piece of tinea!"

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

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

'Of course he reminds you of yourself at his age -- he's your clone.'

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

"Cloning is all very well in theory, but do you have any proof it can actually work?"

Man climbing a dna 'ladder'.

How DNA molecules combine.

Garden genomes.

Mother and child riding a DNA rollercoaster.

A flower beats up another flower - Genetically Engineered plants tend to be more aggressive than naturally grown ones.

Specialized regions in a couple of human chromosomes.

"From now on, take the human genome outside before you unravel it"

'It's not supposed to be a triple helix, is it?'

On the road with the map of the human genome.

'I hope you are not playing God again . . .'

'He followed me home from the cloning lab. Can I keep him?'

Genetic Engineering - biohazards dept.

"He doesn't look like you at all."

'They're not testing drugs on us - they're testing us. We're transgenic.'

Recombinant DNA Lab.

"I'm scared of germs lurking under my bed."
