Sequence From Genes Quotes & Sayings

Unlike some other immune-system gene families, whose genes are all clustered together on one chromosome, the 10 human TLR genes are distributed between five chromosomes. This reflects the ancient, invertebrate origin of the Toll-like receptors, which were present before the two genome-wide duplications that occurred during the early evolution of the vertebrates around 500 million years ago. On the basis of sequence similarities, the Toll-like receptors form four evolutionary lineages (I, II, III, and IV) that are descendants of the four Toll-like receptor loci formed by these two ancient genome duplications. — Peter Parham

Oh, it was a cousin of pain - a kissing cousin even - but Dylan didn't have a name for the sensation that made him want to live inside that ache. Maybe he'd just call it Bob. — Lyn Gala

I'm a homebody, but I make people come to me, like, 'Everyone just come over, and we can have fun at my house.' I love to entertain. — Erin Heatherton

Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny. To a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness. — Martin Luther King Jr.

It is possible to argue that the true business of faith is not to produce emotional conviction in us, but to teach us to do without it. — Ronald Knox

Epigenetics is "the study of heritable changes in gene activity that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence." This means that vital information learned by one generation is genetically transferred to the next. Before epigenetics was discovered, it was thought that genes could not learn because the DNA codes that express them do not provide that option. In other words, DNA is the blueprint that determines gene expression, but epigenetics and other mindbody research is showing that the expression is affected by contextual conditions; Mother Nature sets rules to be questioned, not to be blindly obeyed. — Mario Martinez

As was predicted at the beginning of the Human Genome Project, getting the sequence will be the easy part as only technical issues are involved. The hard part will be finding out what it means, because this poses intellectual problems of how to understand the participation of the genes in the functions of living cells. — Sydney Brenner

Communion over loneliness. Death not an end, but a beginning. At home in the absolute - and absolutely unknown - future. — James Carroll

It was a Rube Goldberg disease. A change in the sequence of a gene caused the change in the sequence of a protein; that warped its shape; that shrank a cell; that clogged a vein; that jammed the flow; that racked the body (that genes built). — Siddhartha Mukherjee

Assess your days and reconcile the differences. Repeat steps to success and dispose bad habits. — Bianca McCormick-Johnson

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. — Walter Gilbert

Politicians aren't any more wicked than other citizens but the situation in which they are placed warps their judgment. — Helen Gahagan Douglas

My inspiration came from the land, ... and, of course, from Paul Klee ... and the poetics of his paintings. — Renzo Piano

To follow in Beethoven's footsteps transcends one's strength. — Johannes Brahms

Perhaps we don't want to come face to face with the unsurrendered areas of our lives. We like our lives just as they are, even if it is less than God's best. — Sandy Smith

I write traditional drama, and the small enclosed communities work well with this form. I enjoy exploring secrets. On small islands, privacy is important, and there are secrets that everyone can guess but nobody talks about. — Ann Cleeves

Genes are effectively one-dimensional. If you write down the sequence of A, C, G and T, that's kind of what you need to know about that gene. But proteins are three-dimensional. They have to be because we are three-dimensional, and we're made of those proteins. Otherwise we'd all sort of be linear, unimaginably weird creatures. — Francis Collins
