flash fiction geneSciFi "The Outpost"




The Golden Age

     Old publications, bound in paper volumes, still hold clues as they were first presented at the beginning of the Golden Age of Genetics (DNA offered its nucleotide sequences surprisingly easy, but early colleagues had no hint of aspects of protein signals in gene expression); yes, proteins, made by genes, leaving no clue as to where they go next inside the cell nucleus, or outside for that matter, once made by the glorious gene. Cooper calls the shots the way he sees it. And he really does see different, not programmed like those proteins, not predestined. No, Dr Cooper isn't like that at all.
