At the deepest level, all living things that have ever been looked at have the same DNA code. And many of the same genes.

We're moving from reading the genetic code to writing it.

Life is a DNA software system.

I naively thought that we could have a molecular definition for life, come up with a set of genes that would minimally define life. Nature just refuses to be so easily quantified.

The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard.

We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it. That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before.

We all want our genetic information. Why would you not want genetic information?

Let us understand what our own selfish genes are up to because we may then at least have the chance to upset their designs.

Traditional ways of distinguishing populations are irrelevant in terms of genetic code.
