53 Genome Quotes for You to Enjoy

The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease. James D. Watson

Your genome knows much more about your medical history than you do. W. Daniel Hillis

History You About More Genome Knows Than Much Your Medical

I think that the idea of people wanting to steal your genome remains a little bit in the world of science fiction. It's a new technology, and it's new science that people are becoming familiar with. It's critical for us to do everything we can to enable the privacy level that people want. Anne Wojcicki

Your genome isn't really secret. Bill Maris

Secret Genome Really Your

People think if you have deciphered the genome of humans that you can change everything. But you cannot change everything, because you do not know what the genes mean, and you have no methods for changing them, and you can't do experiments with humans like you can with animals. Christiane Nusslein-Volhard

You Change People Animals Think Changing Everything Genes Like Know Genome Because Methods Cannot Experiments Mean Them Humans

People think genes are an absolute cause of traits. But the notion that the genome is the blueprint for humanity is a very bad metaphor. If you think we're hard-wired and deterministic, there should indeed be a lot more genes. Craig Venter

You Humanity People Cause Think Indeed Bad More Absolute Genes Genome Metaphor Lot Very Traits Blueprint Should Notion

Genome design is going to be a key part of the future. That's why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them. Craig Venter

The brain is the most complicated organ in the universe. We have learned a lot about other human organs. We know how the heart pumps and how the kidney does what it does. To a certain degree, we have read the letters of the human genome. But the brain has 100 billion neurons. Each one of those has about 10,000 connections. Francis Collins

I think there are people who's lives have been saved because of the study of the genome. Francis Collins

People Think Saved Study Genome Because Been Lives

Though social eugenics was discredited long ago, we still often think of the genome in quasi-eugenic terms. When we read about the latest discovery of a link between a gene and a disease, we imagine that we've learned the cause of the disease, and we may even think we'll get a cure by fixing the gene. Gary Wolf

Every cell in our body, whether it's a bacterial cell or a human cell, has a genome. You can extract that genome - it's kind of like a linear tape - and you can read it by a variety of methods. Similarly, like a string of letters that you can read, you can also change it. You can write, you can edit it, and then you can put it back in the cell. George M. Church

If you get a personal genome, you should be able to get personal cell lines, stem cell derived from your adult tissues, that allow you to bring together synthetic biology and the sequencing so that you can repair parts of your body as you age or repair things that were inherited disorders. George M. Church

You Together Age Biology Synthetic Able Stem Adult Stem Cell Allow Genome Parts Repair Were Lines Get Personal Cell Should Body Your Your Body Disorders Derived Inherited Sequencing Things Bring

If you get very fine, accurate, and inexpensive control over your genome, you can fundamentally change the kind of organism you are. You are extending human capacity. George M. Church

You Change Control Kind Fine Over Genome Inexpensive Very Accurate Get Human Human Capacity Capacity Organism Your Extending Fundamentally

The first thing you have to do is to sequence the Neanderthal genome, and that has actually been done. The next step would be to chop this genome up into, say, 10,000 chunks and then... assemble all the chunks in a human stem cell, which would enable you to finally create a Neanderthal clone. George M. Church

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

Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly. J. Philippe Rushton

I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced. James D. Watson

I am thrilled to see my genome. James D. Watson

Understanding how Cas9 is able to locate specific 20-base-pair target sequences within genomes that are millions to billions of base pairs long may enable improvements to gene targeting and genome editing efforts in bacteria and other types of cells. Jennifer Doudna
