Since the operations at ‘Station X’ became declassified, the wartime work at Bletchley Park including notable individuals such as Alan Turing has become well known in popular films and books. Sir John Sulston and Ian Dunham in the annual Sanger Christmas Pantomime.

And that’s how I learned that there are published books that contain entire chromosome sequences. A real book that contains the full sequence of human chromosome 21. “The first printout of the human genome to be presented as a series of books, displayed in the 'Medicine Now' room at the Wellcome Collection, London. .”

I was reading a lot of molecular biology papers about different systems, especially circadian clocks, and also a book called Biological Feedback , by Thomas and D’Ari, that sketched out really simple models for different kinds of feedback circuits. So many kinds of people have contributed to biology in different ways.

It is the untouchable foundation of molecular biology. The ribosome is a molecular printer that threads ‘beads’ onto a protein string. What we need, really, is a printer that takes words from a screen and quickly converts them into a physical book.

I recently asked for recommendations of “classic” papers in molecular biology. If you’re interested in that story (and the birth of Genentech , and the rise of pretty much all modern biotechnology), I recommend Stephen Hall’s book, Invisible Frontiers.

During that time, we released four issues of our digital magazine, printed and sold out of our first book, worked with dozens of writers, launched pre-orders for our second book, and published about 150,000 words of text. When the article is finished, we’ll also pay you and, perhaps, print your work in a forthcoming book.

By Matthew Cobb The Central Dogma is a linchpin for understanding how cells work, and yet it is one of the most widely misunderstood concepts in molecular biology. His biography of Francis Crick will be published in 2025 by Profile Books in the UK and by Basic Books in the USA. Cite: Cobb, Matthew.

He also posited the existence of a physical material to explain inheritance, which he called “elementen,” or “elements,” many years before nucleic acid had even been isolated 4 and more than 80 years before British biologists unveiled DNA’s structure and founded the field of molecular biology.

I’ve chosen these two because I think they are the linchpin by which we’ll be able to build broadly useful AI models for cell and molecular biology. But looking ahead to the second bottleneck, what does it mean to say that biology is “complex”? Cite: Niko McCarty. “Levers for Biological Progress.”
