The public should know that the liability issues here have yet to be resolved, or even raised. If you're a farmer and you're growing a genetically engineering food crop, those genes are going to flow to the other farm. Jeremy Rifkin American Economist More Jeremy Rifkin Quotes 0
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 Canadian Psychologist More J. Philippe Rushton Quotes 0
It is from the progeny of this parent cell that we all take our looks; we still share genes around, and the resemblance of the enzymes of grasses to those of whales is in fact a family resemblance. Lewis Thomas English Scientist More Lewis Thomas Quotes 0
But I'll tell you something: We had a big family discussion about it recently, my two sisters and I, and I pointed out that we all have the same genes as our mother and we're all susceptible to becoming alcoholics. Payne Stewart American Athlete More Payne Stewart Quotes 0
If somebody has copied the substance and is not very careful with the regulation of the genes, then using the substance would be extremely dangerous. Alan Kingsman More Alan Kingsman Quotes 0
The issue I will highlight is the chemicals in cigarette smoking that can lead to the changes in the genes that cause cancer. This will be a good opportunity for people to learn more about the various aspects of cancer. Alan Lau More Alan Lau Quotes 0
Genes are important because they are the blueprints for proteins, but proteins are where the action is in human life and health. This ability to find links between sets of proteins involved in different genetic disorders offers a novel approach for more rapidly identifying new candidate genes involved in human diseases.

We don't know which of those genes is most likely to harbor this particular risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, but we're getting closer. We're now trying to nail down which one of these six genes is the most likely to be involved. Alison M. Goate More Alison M. Goate Quotes 0
There are a few genes that have been implicated in the development of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, but other than APOE, no genes have been found that increase risk for the more common, late-onset form of the disease. Alison M. Goate More Alison M. Goate Quotes 0
When we understand more about the genes and the environmental factors that influence someone's risk, I think you will be better able to predict who is at highest risk and then target your prevention strategies at those high-risk individuals. Alison M. Goate More Alison M. Goate Quotes 0
We looked in a region of chromosome 7, where there are hundreds of genes, and we noticed that there was a cluster of taste receptor genes in this region. Alison M. Goate More Alison M. Goate Quotes 0
Having identified these previously unknown mutations in key cancer causing genes, we will hopefully enable the development of small molecules and antibodies to regulate their abnormal function and thus inhibit the growth of cancerous cells. This collaborative study exemplifies exactly what our coalition was formed to do -- leverage our individual institution's expertise to collectively discover new druggable targets through genome sequencing and functional genomic analysis. Andrew Simpson More Andrew Simpson Quotes 0
Even here, a male with more testosterone, that's better nourished, and displays all the good genes a female should be interested in will still have a better mane than the guy with a ratty mane next to him. Bruce Patterson More Bruce Patterson Quotes 0
It's likely that different populations would have a different makeup of these genes, so it may all come out in the wash. Bruce T. Lahn More Bruce T. Lahn Quotes 0
You can manipulate the genes ... and use the mouse as a translator of mammalian physiology. Brian Zambrowicz More Brian Zambrowicz Quotes 0
The jury is still out on what this means because we aren't entirely sure what these genes do. It's possible they just control size and shape of the brain, rather than cognition. But the data is pretty compelling that the brain is evolving. Bruce Lahn More Bruce Lahn Quotes 0
[on his mother] So at 96 I'm thanking her for her genes. Clint Eastwood American Actor More Clint Eastwood Quotes 0
I guess I have good genes. Ad my youngest sister (fourth-grader Anne) plays a little bit of everything -- soccer, basketball, swimming volleyball. She's probably going to be better than all of us. Cory Thomasson More Cory Thomasson Quotes 0
Fifty-six percent heritability -- that's a fairly large contribution of genes. Cynthia M. Bulik More Cynthia M. Bulik Quotes 0
Genes load the gun, and environment pulls the trigger. These people who are genetically disposed to anorexia nervosa may be more sensitive to those environmental triggers, like dieting after seeing a fashion magazine. Cynthia M. Bulik More Cynthia M. Bulik Quotes 0
In the last few years these efforts have been remarkably successful. It has been possible to identify both genes and the proteins involved in cancer induction. David Baltimore More David Baltimore Quotes 0
We are pursuing a gene discovery that in effect would provide a gene or genes for drought resistance under reduced moisture regime. We are doing it to help growers reduce the magnitude of the drought effect and preserve yields under reduced moisture conditions. David Bubeck More David Bubeck Quotes 0
It's right there at your fingertips, anytime you want it. We have our genes being given this feast. How do you stop that? Dean Jamison More Dean Jamison Quotes 0
Breeding studies with both males and females often are necessary to identify candidate genes responsible for certain genetic traits. If we want to understand, for example, the genetic basis for why some clones of Daphnia from lakes are more resistant to pollution, then having males could help to find the genes in the genome.
