[Unpublished draft of introduction to the Nobel speech]
Description:
In this draft, Nirenberg emphasizes the rapidity of change in genetic research and is gracious for the contributions of others. He predicts a new area of research in genetics called molecular evolution, in which effects of synthesized genes on the economy of the cell will be explored. Nirenberg claims we are at a point of a new biological evolution--a time in which the brain will eventually establish direct communication with the gene.
