53 Genome Quotes for You to Enjoy

One of the good things about the public Human Genome Project is that the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health spent a part of their budget on the ethical, legal, and social implications of their research. Juan Enriquez

Although not yet routine, many cancer centers have the technology to sequence some or all of a patient's cancer genome. This can provide massive amounts of valuable information about your cancer, including whether you have genetic mutations and other abnormalities for which new drugs are available. Kathy Giusti

You Technology Cancer Valuable Patient Other Mutations Some About Genetic New Massive Genome Although Provide Information Whether Centers Which Available Your Sequence Many Including Routine Amount

In 15 years, we've raised $225 million, sequenced the myeloma genome, and opened 45 trials of 23 drugs - six approved by the FDA - which have doubled the life span of multiple myeloma patients. I've taken both Velcade and Revlimid, which we helped develop. Kathy Giusti

Life Trials Approved Life Span Both Develop Taken Opened Genome Years Six Patients Which Span Helped Multiple Million Raised

Your genome sequence will become a vital part of your medical record, thereby providing critical information about how to optimize your wellness. Leroy Hood

Medicine will be personalized and preventive: Your genome might predict that you have an 80 percent chance of breast cancer by the time you are 50, but if you take a preventive drug starting when you are 40, the chance will drop to 2 percent. Leroy Hood

Time You Cancer Will Drop Predict Medicine Percent Preventive Take Genome Breast Cancer Personalized Might Your Chance Starting By The Time

We live in a dancing matrix of viruses; they dart, rather like bees, from organism to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party. Lewis Thomas

Great Me Plant Party Live Back Dancing Viruses Strings Though Insect Dart Rather Genes Along Like Pieces Genome Around Passing Bees Matrix Mammal Again Organism Sea Heredity

The involvement of clinicians, researchers, and, most importantly, the thousands of people who have donated DNA samples will help us to correlate genetic variation with individual variation in health and disease and help to deliver on the long-term promise of the Human Genome Project. Mark Walport

Health People Will Project Correlate Promise Thousands Thousands Of People Variation Individual Deliver Long-Term Genetic Most Involvement Genome Importantly Disease Donated Human Samples Us Help Researchers Who

From the growth of the Internet through to the mapping of the human genome and our understanding of the human brain, the more we understand, the more there seems to be for us to explore. Martin Rees

Internet Understanding Our Seems More Through Genome Understand Brain Human Human Brain Us Explore Mapping Growth

It's terrifying the way molecular biology has become more and more jargon ridden. But I strongly believe that my book can be read by the intelligent layman. I want everyone who bought a copy of 'A Brief History of Time' to buy a copy of 'Genome'. Matt Ridley

Buy Time History Book Become Believe Biology Everyone Way Strongly More More And More Layman Bought Genome Read Terrifying Intelligent Want Jargon Molecular Ridden Who Brief Copy

Darwin talks about evolution, but he doesn't say how it started. Maybe the sense of mystery will dissolve in the face of science, but I am not so sure. We are all described by the human genome, but it's getting people nowhere. Melvyn Bragg

Genome-based treatment, based on wider and cheaper availability of genome data, will provide new ways to customize the therapeutic protocol and enhance our control over diseases and medical treatment. Nayef Al-Rodhan

The genome could be thought of as a kind of piano with twenty-five thousand keys. In some cases, a few keys may be out of tune, which can cause the music to sound wrong. In others, if one key goes dead the music turns into a cacophony, or the whole piano self-destructs. Richard Preston

Music Key Cause Thought Few Others Keys Out Kind Thousand Some Cases Could Piano Wrong Dead Genome Sound Goes May Tune Which Turns Whole Twenty-Five

We can't any longer have the conventional understanding of genetics which everybody peddles because it is increasingly obvious that epigenetics - actually things which influence the genome's function - are much more important than we realised. Robert Winston

Simple genome engineering of bacteria and yeast is just the beginning of the rise of the true biohackers. This is a community of several thousand people, with skill sets ranging from self-taught software hackers to biology postdocs who are impatient with the structure of traditional institutional lab work. Ryan Bethencourt

Work People Simple Beginning Community Engineering Biology Sets Software Several Bacteria Thousand Rise Impatient Structure Hackers True Institutional Genome Traditional Self-Taught Yeast Lab Just Skill Who

One of the responsibilities faced by the Environmental Genome Project is to provide the science base upon which society can make better informed risk management decisions. Samuel Wilson

Environmental Science Management Better Society Project Responsibilities Faced Risk Risk Management Genome Make Provide Which Informed Decisions Base

While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require. Samuel Wilson

Environmental Future Will Project Seek Studies Importance Genome Frequency Does Accurate Sample Sizes Estimates While Require Large Aware Assign

It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions. Samuel Wilson

Environmental Will Power Important Consider Project Relevant Selected Most Genome Discover Provide Sample Size Interactions Whether Sufficient

It will be the mother of all telescopes, and you can bet it will do for astronomy what genome sequencing is doing for biology. The clumsy, if utilitarian, name of this mirrored monster is Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, or LSST. You can't use it yet, but a peak in the Chilean Andes has been decapitated to provide a level spot for placement. Seth Shostak

Why do people believe that there are dangerous implications of the idea that the mind is a product of the brain, that the brain is organized in part by the genome, and that the genome was shaped by natural selection? Steven Pinker

Natural People Dangerous Mind Believe Selection Shaped Part Idea Implications Genome Brain Natural Selection Product Organized Why

During this period, I became interested in how the new techniques of cloning and sequencing DNA could influence the study of genetics and I was an early and active proponent of the Human Genome Sequencing Project. Sydney Brenner
