Subsequently appeared Praise of Chromosome "Folly." Confessions of an Untamed Molecular Structure (2008, translated into Russian), Molecular Geometry of Body Pattern in Birds (2012) and Molecular Origins of Brain and Body Geometry (2014). Recently appeared Periodic Tables Unifying Living Organisms at the Molecular Level. The Predictive Power of the Law of Periodicity (2017), which was praised, by American and English colleagues, as a "wonderful and pioneering work."
