Quotes About Genomics

Some genetic variants can be informative about one's risk for Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

In genomics, there's a massive amount of information in which you can look for patterns and develop insights.

You should have personalized genomics, personalized physiology, personalized medicine, where each person's different, and each body is an integrated whole.

And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.

Things look especially bleak for common killers such as diabetes and heart disease. Those ailments clearly have a genetic component. But when scientists survey genes looking for which mutations patients have in common, they come up empty.

In chemicals, Synthetic Genomics is one of my real loves.

I'm hoping that these next 20 years will show what we did 20 years ago in sequencing the first human genome, was the beginning of the health revolution that will have more positive impact in people's lives than any other health event in history.

The price to sequence a base [of the human genome] has fallen 100 million times. That's the equivalent of you filling up your car with gas in 1998, waiting until 2011, and now you can drive to Jupiter and back twice.

In other words, the more genomically complex the organism, the larger the percentage of the genome devoted to gene regulation by the environment.

Genomics, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Machine learning technologies are helping practitioners deliver better diagnosis and actually freeing up time for patient interaction.

scientists are using advanced genomic theories and technologies to create a new racial science that claims to divide the human species into natural groups without the taint of racism.

I've read about bots who were built autonomous. But I didn't realize you were …" "Out in the world, being autonomous?" Med laughed. "Yeah." Jack laughed with her. "Robotics isn't really my area. I'm more on the genomics end of things." "Me too," the bot replied.

Like the early days of the Internet, the dawn of personal genomics promises benefits and pitfalls that no one can foresee.

In 15 years we'll have all the sequence, a list of the genes everyone has in common and those that differ among people. We know only something like a tenth of 1 percent of the sequence at the moment.

As we enter the era of personal genomics, they will eventually affect all of us.

resulting in the appearance in the offspring of a character which is not present in the parents but which is potentially transmissible to its offspring.

An increasing number of devices allow people to collect data about themselves: blood sugar levels, the number of steps taken each day, and sleep cycles. It won't be long before checking blood work will only require a relatively inexpensive device that plugs into a smartphone, not a visit to the doctor's office. The cost of sequencing the genome continues to drop, and soon it will be as unremarkable as taking a fingerprint.

Just as personal digital technologies have caused economic, social and scientific revolutions unimagined when we had our first few computers, we must expect and prepare for similar changes as we move forward from our first few genomes. —George Church1

took ten years and $5 billion to sequence the first human genome, and now it takes less than twenty-four hours and costs less than $1,500.5

How is the base sequence, divided into codons? There is nothing in the backbone of the nucleic acid, which is perfectly regular, to show us how to group the bases into codons.

The important thing is that we now have the tools to sequence all kinds of animals and plants and microbes - as well as humans. It is not important that we didn't actually finish the human sequence yet.

We are still working with an incomplete compass. The time is right to bring the full power of genomics to bear on the problem of cancer.

The inability to trace DNA to actual diseases has serious consequences. As does the opposite problem - not being able to trace diseases back to DNA.

I think genetic research is a fascinating and fertile area.
