Quotes About Biotechnology

But the United States is surely not the only country working on gene drive in mammals. If we're on it, China is too. And China has not demonstrated a comforting abundance of oversight in the realm of genetic engineering.

Men want children later, but women can't rely on being able to. So I'm all for scientific advances and the help they can give people.

Junk DNA - or, as scientists call it nowadays, noncoding DNA - remains a mystery: No one knows how much of it is essential for life.

I'd like to see what fraction of things that chemists have figured out we could actually teach nature to do. Then we really could replace chemical factories with bacteria.

When you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design.

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.

We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it. That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before.

The potential for synthetic biology and biotechnology is vast we all have an opportunity to create the future together.

Humans are something very different from animals, and the numbers required to get cloning to work in animals are completely prohibitory with humans.

a .22 shell is used to fire stainless-steel projectiles dipped in a DNA solution at a stem or leaf of the target plant. If all goes well, some of the DNA will pierce the wall of some of the cells' nuclei and elbow its way into the double helix: a bully breaking into a line dance. If the new DNA happens to land in the right place—and no one yet knows what, or where, that place is—the plant grown from that cell will express the new gene. That's it? That's it.

The new plants are novel enough to be patented, yet not so novel as to warrant a label telling us what it is we're eating. It would seem they are chimeras: "revolutionary" in the patent office and on the farm, "nothing new" in the supermarket and the environment.

We found that CAS9 has the ability to make a double-stranded break in DNA at sites that are programmed by a small RNA molecule. What was so important was that we could really show how the CAS9 protein worked.
