The Angel Experiment
- We were created by scientists, whitecoats, who grafted avian DNA onto our human genes.†
p. 8.1genes = DNA sequences or units of heredity that influence biological traits
- On the other hand, every minute that ticked by was another minute closer to Angel's being the number one dissection lesson for a bunch of rabid geneticists.†
p. 55.5geneticists = people who study DNA sequences or units of heredity that influence biological traits
- Basically, the spliced genes started to unravel after a while, and the organisms tended to, well, self-destruct.†
p. 70.6genes = DNA sequences or units of heredity that influence biological traits
- And how did they get the bird genes into us?†
p. 72.3
- It sounded like—like they got the genes into us before we were born somehow.†
p. 72.3
- And somehow they got the bird genes into us with it.†
p. 72.4
- They let them put bird genes in us.†
p. 72.7
- On the other, we have a gang of insane scientists desperate to do genetic experiments on innocent children.†
p. 73.9genetic = related to DNA sequences or units of heredity that influence biological traits
- The kind of bug you get when your whole genetic makeup is about to unravel.†
p. 74.9
- This was a completely different, foreign world, where kids swarmed freely through a zoo, animals were in habitats and weren't undergoing genetic grafting, and we were strolling along, not hooked up to EEG monitors and blood pressure cuffs.†
p. 79.2
- Superhumans or Genetic Freaks?
p. 109.4 *genetic = segments of DNA which when combined determine biological traits such as hair color or height
- "genetics" ....Then, oh, my God ....document files filled the screen.†
p. 127.4genetics = the science related to DNA sequences or units of heredity that influence biological traits
- Out of hundreds of genetic experiments, only we and the Erasers had been at all viable—as far as I knew.†
p. 129.2genetic = related to DNA sequences or units of heredity that influence biological traits
