I have not read the book vincent, but I will put forth this....

behind it all/behind the scene/not visible or unknowingly working on or in secret maybe.

works magic/doing the impossible or improbable with genetic material

of generations lost/from the past/thought gone/dead and maybe buried or stored somewhere...now as time and science has found new ways to develop and isolate gene material..its useful.

Think..... Jurassic Park.
