Snow Crash
- So he's in their database now-retinal patterns, DNA, voice graph, fingerprints, footprints, palm prints, wrist prints, every flicking part of the body that had wrinkles on it-almost-those bastards rolled in ink and made a print and digitized it into their computer.†
Chpt 1-2
- You just have to find a sufficiently virulent business plan, condense it into a threering binder-its DNA-xerox it, and embed it in the fertile lining of a well-traveled highway, preferably one with a left-turn lane.†
Chpt 23-24
- So did Lagos think that the Asherah virus actually altered the DNA of brain cells?†
Chpt 29-30 *
- This was the backbone of his hypothesis that the virus was able to transmute itself from a biologically transmitted string of DNA into a set of behaviors.†
Chpt 29-30
- Snow Crash penetrates the walls of brain cells and goes to the nucleus where the DNA is stored.†
Chpt 31-32
- This guy I was talking to said that it fucks with your actual DNA.†
Chpt 33-34
- The first thing it did was to spawn a whole Pandora's box of DNA viruses-smallpox, influenza, and so on.†
Chpt 55-56
- We still see new DNA viruses from time to time, but it seems that our bodies have developed a resistance to DNA viruses in general.†
Chpt 55-56
- We still see new DNA viruses from time to time, but it seems that our bodies have developed a resistance to DNA viruses in general.†
Chpt 55-56
- "Perhaps," Ng says, "there are only so many viruses that will work in the human DNA, and the metavirus has created all of them."†
Chpt 55-56
- Except that in this case, it was in a linguistic form rather than DNA.†
Chpt 55-56
- The Asherah virus, which may be related to herpes, or they may be one and the same, passes through the cell walls and goes to the nucleus and messes with the cell's DNA in the same way that steroids do.†
Chpt 55-56
- And when it alters that DNA, what is the result?†
Chpt 55-56

-
(DNA) cell structures that transmit genetic information which determines inherited traits such as hair color or height
