The German botanist Johannes Karl Albert Winkler, who failed Greek lessons, coined "genome" on the pattern of "chromosome" but forgot the "s": Chromo-some: Color-body (shows up when stained) Gen-ome: Gene-[nonsense suffix] Stick that in your meme-ome

After 13 years Dinochicken Project has reached a threshold. We know how to initiate teeth, alter skull shape, transform wingtip to a 3 fingered hand, and produce a bony tail. Next and final step will likely have to be on an island, with a generous, intrepid donor!! #dinochicken
