If you happen across the Web site of NEXTgencode, don’t be fooled. The company doesn’t exist and the bizarre genetic conjectures are pure fiction. The site exists to help promote Michael Crichton’s next book “Next”. I shudder to think what Crichton will do for genetics after what he did for global warming in the execrable “State of Fear”.

Thanks to Hsien Hsien Lei’s excellent Web Site Genes and Health for tipping me off about this.
