Quotes About DNA

Although Spanish politics is among the most corrupt in Europe, political corruption is in the basic DNA of almost any political system, the USA and EU included, and one of the factors that has had the biggest part to play in the crisis of legitimacy. If

The amount of DNA not coding for RNA, sometimes called junk DNA (a dangerous term for something one does not understand), is also much greater in eukaryotes.

Besides, our DNA profiles are already in the army and FBI files. When there's a chance that some suicide bomber is going to blow you into hamburger, the army wants to be able to identify the scrap meat. We've all got DNA profiles.

apparently mutiny is in the DNA, like eye color or a tendency toward irritable bowels.

blackballed from guild roles for two generations, because apparently mutiny is in the DNA, like eye color or a tendency toward irritable bowels. On

I come from an Irish Catholic family, and hell-raising is part of the DNA.

My father always says that heroism is in the Pashtun DNA.

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.

The information encoded in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics, such as sex, eye color, age and Social Security number.

Incidentally, if any signs of life were found elsewhere in our solar system – and (an important proviso) if we could be sure that it was based on a different kind of DNA, implying that it had a separate origin from terrestrial life – then we could immediately conclude that life was widespread in the universe. Something that had happened twice around a single star must have happened on millions of planets elsewhere in the Galaxy.

You couldn't be a little bit human in the same way you couldn't be a little bit in love. It was all or nothing. A drop was an ocean. And maybe being human wasn't even down to DNA in the end. Maybe it was about the ability to love, when you knew love was irrational. Yeah, maybe being human was to make no sense.

if you look at the Domesday Book, the average size of an English community at that time was a hundred and fifty people. Except in Kent. Where it was a hundred people. I'm from Kent. We have anti-social DNA.

What she and others discovered begins to explain why things like smoking or coal mining or sunbathing are so carcinogenic. Each activity injures the tissue and damages the DNA. When the tissue is damaged, the immune system kicks in and cleanses the site and helps stimulate new tissue growth. The trouble is that when the DNA is damaged, the new cells that grow can be malignant cells, some that are made up of self but that are different enough to behave like a cancer.

Genes are biochemical recipes written in a four-letter alphabet called DNA.

Phylogeography began in the 1980s as a way to tell the evolutionary history of natural populations of animals and plants. It usually involves looking at a large number of "markers," variable bits in the DNA of a species, for a lot of specimens from different parts of a species' area of distribution. Phylogeographers can then use such rich information on the genetic make-up of a species to trace back its history.

Each of us contains tens of billions of miles of DNA—enough for one hundred thousand round trips to the moon if you uncoiled each strand and placed them end to end

curcumin pills; they merely got less than a teaspoon a day of just the regular turmeric spice you'd find at the grocery store. Of course, turmeric can't completely mitigate the effects of smoking. Even after the participants ate turmeric for a month, the DNA-damaging ability of the smokers' urine still exceeded that of the nonsmokers'. But smokers who make turmeric a staple of their diets may help lessen some of the damage.

Wrongdoing is an absence of something good rather than something fated or written in our DNA or forced upon us by shitty parents or careless teachers or cruel friendships. Evil is not a state; it is a "property," and when a person is in possession of enough "property," it sometimes begins to define them.

Nicholas: One of the oldest secrets of alchemy is that every living thing, from the most complex creatures right down to the simplest leaf, carries the seeds of its creation within itself. Josh: DNA.

This doesn't necessarily mean that ET will use DNA as its genetic material, or rely on the same 20 amino acids that Earth life does. Other carbon molecules could conceivably get the relevant jobs done, and it might actually be quite surprising if two different life systems came up with the exact same solutions

1. Quantum reincarnations in past life archeology. Karmic cycles of the DNA of the reincarnation of thinking in the DNA spiral of the subconscious. DNA is a temporary loop of infantile depravity and despair, awareness is a wormhole of a quantum portal from one dimension to another. Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich

Good. It's better if my DNA isn't passed on." "Why? You're smart, beautiful, powerful." "I'm also mentally unstable and may have tendencies toward criminal insanity.

The contemporary design argument does not rest, however, on gaps in our knowledge but rather on the growth in our knowledge due to the revolution in molecular biology. Information theory has taught us that nature exhibits two types of order. The first type is produced by natural causes-shiny crystals, hexagonal patterns in oil, whirlpools in the bathtub. But the second type-the complex structure of the DNA molecule-is not produced by any natural processes known to experience.

humans have twenty-three pairs of chromosomes and that the pairs of chromosomes are the same in men and in women, with the exception of pair number 23—the sex chromosomes. In that case, women have two X chromosomes and men have one X and one Y. Moreover, a woman's two X chromosomes look pretty much like all her other chromosomes. Chromosomes resemble Xs.
