...Sara J. Brenner, a first-year Law School student who is living alone in a Marriott bedroom, said she was “skeptical” that the dorm would be completed by October...
...reason for modesty. In the years since their discovery of the double helix, Crick, unlike Watson, has continued to do significant research, mostly by pondering big--and often controversial--theoretical questions rather than by toiling in the lab. Says his longtime colleague and fellow Nobel laureate Sydney Brenner: "He's the only molecular biologist I know who has managed to make a living as a theoretician...
Together with Brenner and others, Crick provided an initial solution: DNA's sequence of four bases, taken three at a time, direct the formation of 20 amino acids; then, guided by DNA's single-chain cousins, messenger and transfer RNA (whose existence Crick predicted), these molecules link up to form more complex proteins. In the process, Crick asserted, genetic information always flows one way, from DNA to RNA to protein, an idea he called molecular biology's "central dogma...
...important that the Nobel committee decided Monday to award this year's prize in Physiology or Medicine to three researchers who have uncovered its genetic basis. H. Robert Horvitz, 55, an American who works at the Massachusetts Institute of technology will share the award with two Britons: Sydney Brenner, 75, of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, and Sir John Sulston, 60, of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, in Cambridge, England...
...were found to exist in the human genome as well. Nobody has yet turned these discoveries into treatments that can turn cell-death genes on or off at will to fight disease. But researchers are working on them. And if such precisely targeted medicines do finally become available, Horvitz, Brenner and Sulston will be largely responsible...
