“Geneticist and science writer Steve Jones argues that humanity does not, and will never
have the technology that proponents of transhumanism seek. He once joked that the
letters of the genetic code, A, C, G and T should be replaced with the letters H, Y, P and
E. Jones claims that technologies like genetic engineering will never be as powerful as is
popularly believed.”
E Coli The workhorse of molecular biology
Theodor Escherich isolates a microbe from the colon that is later given the name
Escherichia coli in his honor.

Escherichia coli, a subgroup of fecal coliform bacteria that is present in the intestinal
tracts and feces of warm-blooded animals.
It is used as an indicator of the potential presence of pathogens. There are many different
strains of E. coli that are classified into more than 170 serogroups.
Although most strains of E. coli are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy humans
and animals, the E. coli O157:H7 strain produces a powerful toxin and can cause severe
illness.
Its presence in groundwater is a common indicator of fecal contamination.
(“Enteric” is the adjective that describes organisms that live in the intestines. “Fecal” is
the adjective for organisms that live in feces, so it is often a synonym for “enteric.”) The
name comes from its discoverer, Theodor Escherich.
