“For the epigenetic processes, these are much more dynamic than DNA, and just as important because this is what controls what is being expressed and what is being repressed. Because of that, any type of toxicant in the environment that interacts with these processes can affect disease outcome.”
Andrew Olaharski
“What this is really telling us is that life is a unified process. It's not just a group of DNA bases, but it's also the physical environment in which they exist. Later on, as life became more evolved, there were other ways to achieve genetic stability. But at first, it simply may not have been possible without water.”
Wei Kong
“It is important to identify how they can alter these epigenetic processes and not just DNA. I actually think they do realize this and are going this way, so what I want to hopefully come out of this is better testing and better regulation of these types of compounds to which we are exposed.”
“The pieces of DNA you find in the Y-chromosome don't go through the same shuffling process that other DNA undergoes, so it is easier to trace,”
Spencer Wells
“DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleicantidisestablishmentarianism, a complex string of syllables.”
Dave Barry
“The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.”
Lewis Thomas
“DNA is the fingerprint of the 21st century,”
