As we all saw in grade school, once you learn how to read a book, somebody is going to want to write one - that's how authors are made. Once we know how to read our own genetic code, someone is going to want to rewrite that 'text,' tinker with traits - play God, some would say. Gregory Benford

God You Book School Made Somebody Own Our Once Saw Say Would Some Someone Write Genetic Know Learn Read How Text Grade Grade School Traits Authors Tinker Going Rewrite Want Code Play

Evolution is all about passing on the genome to the next generation, adapting and surviving through generation after generation. From an evolutionary point of view, you and I are like the booster rockets designed to send the genetic payload into the next level of orbit and then drop off into the sea. Harvey V. Fineberg

You Generation Drop Adapting Booster Evolution Evolutionary About Point Point Of View Through Genetic Like Genome Passing Rockets Off Surviving Send Orbit After Then Next Next Generation Next Level View Sea Level Designed

If two very different people pool their DNA, they'll create more genetic variety, and their young will come to the job of parenting with a wider array of skills. Helen Fisher

Parenting People Will Job Young Pool More Variety Genetic Come Array Very Different Create Skills Different People Wider Two

Today, you have neuroscientists working on a genetic, behavioural or cognitive level, and then you have informaticians, chemists and mathematicians. They all have their own understanding of how the brain functions and is structured. How do you get them all around the same table? Henry Markram

Genetic engineering is a result of science advancement, so I don't think that in itself is bad. If used wisely, genetics can be beneficial, but they can be abused, too. Hideo Kojima

Science Result Engineering Think Too Beneficial Bad Advancement Wisely Abuse Genetic Genetic Engineering Genetics Itself Used

I'm not a doctor or scientist. I'm just a mom. But I do think there's a genetic predisposition, and there are environmental triggers. I feel like that combination, in my child's case, is what resulted in autism. Holly Robinson Peete

Environmental Mom Doctor Autism Think Triggers Case Resulted Feel Combination Genetic Like Scientist Child Just

The goal of NIH research is to acquire new knowledge to help prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat disease and disability, from the rarest genetic disorder to the common cold. Ike Skelton

Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That's a noble cause, and that's where we should be heading. But once we get past that - once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with - when we start thinking about the future, there's an opportunity to create some new life-forms. Jack Horner

Future People Opportunity Cause Past Engineering Thinking Once Some About Noble Noble Cause Heading Genetic New Genetic Engineering Deal Understand Get Diseases Human Where Interested Race Create Should Help Human Race Now Right Start

I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest, or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always trying to build things. James Cameron

Love Technology Respect Father Build Engineering Attempt Genetic Always Get Trying Maybe Just Interest Fascinated Things

The word 'code' turns out to be a really important word for my book, 'The Information.' The genetic code is just one example. We talk now about coders, coding. Computer guys are coders. The stuff they write is code. James Gleick

Information is crucial to our biological substance - our genetic code is information. But before 1950, it was not obvious that inheritance had anything to do with code. And it was only after the invention of the telegraph that we understood that our nerves carry messages, just like wires. James Gleick

Invention Before Our Telegraph Carry Nerves Only Crucial Had Wires Genetic Like Obvious Messages Understood Just Substance After Anything Information Inheritance Code Biological

Half of what creates psychopaths is genetic, but the other half is conditioning. James Norton

When you're your parents' one shot at a genetic legacy, you may get to attend all the best schools, wear all the best clothes and eat all the best foods - at least relative to children in multiple-sibling households. But you also wind up with an overweening sense of your own importance. Jeffrey Kluger

Best You Wind Parents Own Clothes Sense Relative Wear Eat Foods Attend Genetic Importance Also Schools Households Least Up Legacy Get May Children Shot Your

Identical twins are ideal lab specimens for studying the difference between learned and inherited traits since they come from the womb preloaded with matching genetic operating systems. Any meaningful differences in their behaviors or personalities are thus likely to have been acquired, not innate. Jeffrey Kluger

Differences Systems Ideal Thus Studying Between Since Genetic Come Identical Likely Operating Learned Operating Systems Matching Been Womb Lab Traits Behaviors Any Difference Personalities Acquired Meaningful Inherited Twins Innate

What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault. Jenna McCarthy

Death Together Women Fault Men Sit Starved Back Everyone Hunted Scare Dates Had Genetic Talk Around Quiet Get Get Together Difference Then Much Theory Lest Away Societies

One can envisage taking cells from a patient with sickle-cell anaemia or an inherited blood disorder and using the Cas9 system to fix the underlying genetic cause of the disease by putting those cells back into the patient and allowing them to make copies of themselves to support the patient's blood. Jennifer Doudna

Those who have contributed great positive innovations to our society, from the pioneers of genetic understanding to the pioneers of the Information Age, have received a pittance compared with those responsible for the financial innovations that brought our global economy to the brink of ruin.
