"It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material."

"When disinformation is running rampant, there are two ignorances that may emerge: the one is actually positive, a sort of pure and intentional emptying of the mind; but the other is of course negative and clogged and polluted."
"Disinformation is duping. Misinformation is tricking."
"A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself."
"But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the senses."
"I never leaked information to Woodward and Bernstein or anyone else!"
"How easy it is for so many of us today to be undoubtedly full of information yet fully deprived of accurate information."
"I answered their questions truthfully and honestly, but I would prefer not to say more. I assume the information was routed back and that is why I was not called to testify."
"I was given no special information by the White House, or by anybody else, for that matter."
"The information gained from these techniques was valuable in some instances, but there is no way of knowing whether the same information could have been obtained through other means."
"Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it."

"It now seems very likely that many of the 64 triplets, possibly most of them, may code one amino acid or another, and that in general several distinct triplets may code one amino acid."
"A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here."
"For simplicity one can think of the + class as having one extra base at some point or other in the genetic message and the - class as having one too few."
"How is the base sequence, divided into codons? There is nothing in the backbone of the nucleic acid, which is perfectly regular, to show us how to group the bases into codons."
"Attempts have been made from a study of the changes produced by mutation to obtain the relative order of the bases within various triplets, but my own view is that these are premature until there is more extensive and more reliable data on the composition of the triplets."
"Do codons overlap? In other words, as we read along the genetic message do we find a base which is a member of two or more codons? It now seems fairly certain that codons do not overlap."
"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."
"A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement."
"It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code."
"The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar."
