"But then… as he reaches the end of his analysis, Muller offers a stunning prediction. In essence he says that if you want to really understand the structure of the gene, it will not be done with Drosophila. Instead, he recommends the study of “d’Herelle bodies.” In 1917, the French physician Félix d’Hérelle discovered bacteriophage."
