Change Quote by Matthew Cobb
““Every result converged on the same conclusion: the transforming principle was composed of DNA. The discussion section of the article outlined the genetic context of their findings, using similar terms to their Rockefeller Institute report from earlier in the year: The inducing substance has been likened to a gene, and the capsular antigen which is produced in response to it has been regarded as a gene product.””
