Quantum Leap Discoveries
I agree with Bob and N10. Being able to create recombinant DNA is a
major quantum leap. To that, however, I would add DNA sequencing. Because of this, we've been able to sequence the human genome and hundreds of other species. Now, with automated sequencing, we're able to sequence entire genomes (like bacteria) in around a month. That's an incredible feat. And having all this genetic info at our fingertips has really brought about great advances not only in molecular biology, but in biology in general. From a non-biological point of view, I think the biggest quantum leap of our time is the invention of the Internet. Anything I could ever want to know is a keystroke or mouse-click away. Instead of spending countless hours in a library looking up papers, I can find everything relevant to my topic in about 2 seconds. I think that's revolutionary. --Alex ********************* Alex B.
