The Human Genome Project has given us a genetic parts list.
Your genome knows much more about your medical history than you do.
I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.
The mouse genome is an invaluable tool to interpret the human genome.
I'm not keen on interfering with nature; I don't want to edit my genome.
Heritability pertains to the entirety of the genome, not to a single gene.
I think there are people who's lives have been saved because of the study of the genome.
It appears that the human genome does indeed contain deserts, or large, gene-poor regions.
Even if we never cure a single disease, the Human Genome Project and other ventures will have been worth it.
By being able to write a genome and plug it into an organism, the software, if you will, changes the hardware.
I think that the idea of people wanting to steal your genome remains a little bit in the world of science fiction.
Eventually we'll be able to sequence the human genome and replicate how nature did intelligence in a carbon-based system.
If I had a weak ego, and doubts about this, the first genome would not yet have been completed with US and UK government funding.
The human genome contains so much data that, it has been calculated, it would fill 43 volumes of Webster's International Dictionary.
The fact is that proprietary databases don't work for such basic and broadly needed information as the sequence of the human genome.
I firmly believe that the next great breakthrough in bioscience could come from a 15-year-old who downloads the human genome in Egypt.
One of the central mysteries of biology is why the genome is largely identical from cell to cell, even though cells do different things.
The goal of getting your genome done is not to tell you what you will die from, but it's how to learn how to take action to prevent disease.
Your genome sequence will become a vital part of your medical record, thereby providing critical information about how to optimize your wellness.
If we can put a man on the moon and sequence the human genome, we should be able to devise something close to a universal digital public library.
There have been lots of stories written about all the hype over getting the genome done and the letdown of not discovering lots of cures right after.
If you go far enough back, your genome connects you with bacteria, butterflies, and barracuda - the great chain of being linked together through DNA.
I would like to do a series about sequencing the human genome, and also analyze more human diversity among other ethnic groups - a 'Faces of America 2.'
Human experience depends on everything that can influence states of the human brain, ranging from changes in our genome to changes in the global economy.
I would only once have the opportunity to let my scientific career encompass a path from the double helix to the three billion steps of the human genome.
Each part of our genome is unique. We would not be alive if there was not a single mathematical solution for our chromosomes. We would just be scrambled goo.
What I really wanted was for everybody to have their genome and, ideally, everybody to share their genome, and for that, we needed to bring the price way down.
Genomics is a new idea. Like the PC, it's not obvious at first that anyone would want one. It's like, 'Hey, we've already got one genome, why do we need more?'
The convergence of information technology and biology allows scientists to translate the human genome into digital data that can accelerate diagnoses and cures.
I didn't want my genome to be sequenced by any of the companies that were out there doing the partial sequences just from the point of view of commercialisation.
Anybody that thought the genome was going to directly provide drugs was a fool. Biological networks are not simple, and making drugs to affect them won't be simple.
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.
How did we cure polio, smallpox and send a man to the moon? How did we decode the human genome in just 13 years? Collaboration. Focus on a specific goal, and teamwork.
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.
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.
Mutations can arise anywhere in the genome, in gene DNA and noncoding DNA alike. But mutations to genes have bigger consequences: They can disable proteins and kill a creature.
Before the Human Genome Project, most scientists assumed, based on our complex brains and behaviors, that humans must have around 100,000 genes; some estimates went as high as 150,000.
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.
The food we eat goes beyond its macronutrients of carbohydrates, fat and protein. It's information. It interacts with and instructs our genome with every mouthful, changing genetic expression.
I think something very simple that everybody can do is they can participate in medical research as subjects. Personal genome project, for example, will take on as many subjects as we can find.
Knowing what your parents have gives you hints of things, but your genome is a totally unique combination of and interchange of DNA from your parents. There is no one else like you genetically.
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.
When results are shared freely amongst the biological community, as has been done for the worm and the Human Genome Projects, specialist scientists can move much more rapidly towards their goals.
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.
If you know the mother's genome and the father's genome, and you see that the children have some genes that neither parent has, then you know that difference is either a mutation or a processing error.
I'm looking for all the things that are beneficial in the human genome. Everything that I do is based on a very simple principle: things that are beneficial will spread through populations very quickly.
