Carolyn’s parents did not, after all, make genomics history by synthesizing her genome in a lab. She has known she is the “Human Hoax” ever since a high school genetics exercise revealed she has trisomy X - a chromosomal abnormality - yet no synthetically constructed genome would have such clear traces of natural conception. Many years later, as a molecular biologist, Carolyn hopes her colleagues never learn of her embarrassing origins. But when someone ransacks her office and lab, she finds professional embarrassment is the least of her worries.
