A Cryptologist Takes a Crack at Deciphering DNA’s Deep Secrets. 'Thirty years ago, Nick Patterson worked in the secret halls of the Government Communications Headquarters, the code-breaking British agency that unscrambles intercepted messages and encrypts clandestine communications. He applied his brain to “the hardest problems the British had,” said Dr. Patterson, a mathematician. Today, at 59, he is tackling perhaps the toughest code of all — the human genome. Five years ago, Dr. Patterson... Read Full Story

Monday On Monday we began the lab work. Jenna and I turned out to be the only biologists on the trip, although there are a few biochemists. It turns out that most teams (two people per team...
