Dave Barry
“Lots of genes could be important -- genes that determine how you absorb a drug, variations in one gene involved in breaking down the drugs, variations in the way that you excrete a drug.”
Dr. Garret FitzGerald
“The fact that this gene is silenced in many cancer types strongly suggests that it plays an important role in cancer development.”
Christoph Plass
“The overall direction this is moving is to develop a gene therapy for arthritis in which therapeutic genes are put into people's joints to treat the disease.”
Christopher Evans
“Biology will relate every human gene to the genes of other animals and bacteria, to this great chain of being.”
Walter Gilbert
“Genes tend to have a very broad effect and it is often more than one gene that determines the interests a child will learn toward. Environment tends to act as the specialist. Reading to children can increase their interest in books but because of the genetic factor, they may never take to the love of books that a parent may have no matter how hard a parent tries to teach it.”
Phillip Dale
“(HIV) is a retrovirus, and one that has the capability of inserting itself into a gene -- into the genes of our own cell and hiding there essentially indefinitely, so it shields itself from the surveillance of the body's immune system,”
Anthony Fauci
