I'd heard of it as well - there was a novel that had a group of aging Biologist get together and publish anonymously under the name. The clever part of the novel - and I can't even remember the name - was that the "discovery" they made was PCR. It made it seem a lot better then if the novelist had just created some magic invention for the characters. Made it much more grounded - as I remember it. That said, how good could it be if I can't remember the name of the book.
