Plešasta bakterija

G. Martin: Živela spora mojega sporišča.

G. Smith: Spora sporasta, ki sporulira.

Ga. Martin: Shigella, Salmonella, Klebsiella.

Ga. Smith: Čudna družina.

Gasilec: Saj res, kaj pa je s plešasto bakterijo?

Janez Menart – Jaz

Pred ogledalom nem stojim

in v tujca pred seboj strmim.

Kot da zrem prvič ta obraz,

vprašujem ga: Si ti res jaz?

Zamišljeno me zro oči

in vprašajo: Sem jaz res ti?

In trezno pravi mu moj jaz:

Jaz nisem ti, ti nisi jaz;

jaz sem le jaz, ki se mi zdi;

in ti si jaz le za ljudi;

a pravi jaz je dan za dnem

uganka meni in ljudem.

Janez Menart

(1929–2004)

Enzyme, whatcha doin today?

I said enzyme, want to make DNA?

I said enzyme, show me your binding way

Let me mix you with some primers

Enzyme, time to build a new strand

I said enzyme, cause I know that you can

I said enzyme, these letters also spell DAN

All we need to get things started

Is just a little bit of GTCA

Is just a little bit of GTCA

I can build DNA

I can be a big star

Youre the key to my PCR

Thats right Im talkin bout GTCA

Just a little bit of GTCA

I can make some new strands

I can view all my bands

I can be the best that I can

Enzyme, you have come a long way

But in my lab, demands are higher today

I said enzyme, now its time to go fast

We have got to increase throughput

Enzyme, I think I found what I need

Its an enzyme, it gives me much higher speed

It goes so fast, when it builds DNA

All we need to get it started

Is just a little bit of GTCA

Is just a little bit of GTCA

I can build DNA

I can reach for the stars

I can do faster PCR

Yeeeeeaaaa-eeee-ehhh!
