The Human Genre Project

dgmacarthur | August 18, 2009

A colleague just pointed me to The Human Genre Project, a growing collection of short writing (poems, short stories) assembled into the set of human chromosomes The quality is uneven, but some are genuinely moving, some are cute, and others convey the challenges and uncertainties of our genetic future. For the literarily inclined: I note that chromosome 22 is yet to find an occupant, and anyone can contribute. Subscribe to Genetic Future. Follow Daniel on Twitter.
