Finally one should add that in spite of the great complexity of protein synthesis and in spite of the considerable technical difficulties in synthesizing polynucleotides with defined sequences it is not unreasonable to hope that all these points will be clarified in the near future, and that the genetic code will be completely established on a sound experimental basis within a few years.

Rather than believe that Watson and Crick made the DNA structure, I would rather stress that the structure made Watson and Crick.

God is a hacker, not an engineer

Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.

We are sometimes asked what the result would be if we put four +'s in one gene. To answer this my colleagues have recently put together not merely four but six +'s.

In my experience most mathematicians are intellectually lazy and especially dislike reading experimental papers. He seemed to have very strong biological intuitions but unfortunately of negative sign.

Protein synthesis is a central problem for the whole of biology, and that it is in all probability closely related to gene action.
