Recall that Nature was the journal which published
the first right handed helical DNA structure.
In ground breaking news, new methods reported in
Nature Methods
now reveal that DNA is actually left handed.

The main page of
Humainism Today
announces that
"Volume 17, Biomedical Ethics,
is now available in hardcover from Prometheus Press."
The book is

A new major biobank in America will be collecting left handed DNA samples
according to the
online publication
Nature News
(17 December 2008 | Nature | doi:10.1038/news.2008.1315).
We suspect this is a trick to locate the remaining few Right handed
DNA people left in America, so watch out!

For your first visit to the
Left Handed
Hall of Fame
page I suggest that you follow the story
over all of the years.
After that you can look at each year individually
from the table below.
Note: just because a year has gone by does not mean
we haven't found more examples for that year!
1997 and 1998 were bumper crop years
and 1999 beat them more than 2 fold.
2000 was a record year, thanks to help from
friends around the world
(60 of the 97 cases, 63%!).
2001 exceeded even that record!
2002 was lower - are we making headway?
