hesGoogle is a wonderful thing. Medline and university search engines are wonderful things.
Still. All I remember about memes seems to bring me back to Barbara McClintock (CSHL) and the whole bid-ness of maize. :) Transposable elements... :) Although transposable elements was mentioned in MGB311 (Molecular Genetics), I didn't really learn about McClintock until I did the History and Philosophy of Biology classes (two HPS courses) and wrote a paper on a famous scientist (two per class: McClintock, then Rosalind Franklin; and later, analysis of Hypatia's significance to classical mathematics).
McClintock's writings are not that hard to read. Her collected papers were released under:
The discovery and characterization of transposable elements : the collected papers of Barbara McClintock (1987) QH462 .I48 M33 1987
which for some very strange reason is STILL not available at the main Sciences Library (Gerstein), but is available at the two libraries that are 33 km away.
I am very tempted to get myself to the library and borrow that book for refresher reading (Alumni priviledges! :D))
