Acknowledgments
I am indebted to several scientists for sharing their expertise with me. Many thanks to Annie Penn for her historical perspective and incisive questions, and to Paula Fraenkel for brilliant advice in matters both literary and scientific. Special thanks to Tom Schwarz for his detailed and insightful comments. Philip Standel drew upon a wealth of experience to answer queries about the care and breeding of mice. Jonathan Singer, Lisa Spirio, and Jeanne Winsten allowed me to watch them work at the Whitehead Institute. I am deeply grateful for their generosity.
