10 QUOTES WITH «GENOME»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word genome.
1
Erez Lieberman Aiden
One of the central mysteries of biology is why the genome is largely identical from cell to cell, even though cells do different things.
2
Seth Berkley
The virus that causes AIDS is the trickiest pathogen scientists have ever confronted. It mutates furiously, it has decoys to evade the immune system, it attacks the very cells that are trying to fight it, and it quickly hides itself in your genome.
3
Thomas R. Cech
The overall view of the human genome project has been one of great excitement and positive press, but there are people who have concerns that are quite reasonable, and they are frightened of things they don't understand.
4
Joseph DeRisi
It turns out that viruses evolve from each other, like everything else. So if you look at the evolutionary tree of viruses, you can find parts of their genome that haven't changed over evolutionary time. You can recognize what may be a new virus by identifying this little piece of their genome that hasn't changed and is represented on the chip.
5
Harvey V. Fineberg
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.
6
W. Daniel Hillis
Your genome knows much more about your medical history than you do.
7
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.
8
Leroy Hood
Your genome sequence will become a vital part of your medical record, thereby providing critical information about how to optimize your wellness.
9
Leroy Hood
An important finding is that by determining the genome sequences of an entire family, one can identify many DNA sequencing errors and thus greatly increase the accuracy of the data. This will ultimately help us understand the role of genetic variations in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
10
Leroy Hood
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.
