In the late 1970s, when I was a professor at Caltech, I pioneered four instruments for analyzing genes and proteins that revolutionized modern biology - and one of these, the automated DNA sequencer, enabled the Human Genome Project.
I brought my personality to HQ. I injected my DNA into this thing. They gave me a blank slate to work with.
At the deepest level, all living things that have ever been looked at have the same DNA code. And many of the same genes.
In a web/mobile startup, coding is not an outsourced activity. It's an integral part of the company's DNA.
Horses are in our DNA. We used them way before cars for commuting.
Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA.
I grew up on the Roger Moore and Sean Connery Bond movies, so the DNA of my spies is extremely ridiculous and goofy.
Technology is neutral: It convicts and finds innocents. We must make it a regularized part of the system, giving defendants access to DNA testing and evidence whenever it might be relevant.
I'm just a cool guy. It's just in my DNA.
In courtship, who wins and who loses will determine who passes on their DNA to tomorrow.
I would compare my 'Frankenstein' to Cronenberg's remake of 'The Fly.' The monster in the original Fifties version of 'The Fly' was a crude, anatomical combination of man and insect, whereas Cronenberg's version exploited knowledge of DNA to depict him as a transgenic chimera.
Transposons are just small pieces of DNA that randomly insert in the genetic code. And if they insert in the middle of the gene, they disrupt its function.
When we had highly sensitive information, the DNA on the dress, that was held within our office and the FBI. There was no dissemination of that information.
In my early work, our molecular views of telomeres were first focused on the DNA.
We didn't go to the moon to explore or because it was in our DNA or because we're Americans. We went because we were at war and we felt a threat.
Mitochondrial DNA is in higher concentration, lasts longer, and can be extracted from bones.
Many police departments still use DNA evidence the way they have used fingerprints and tire tracks: to determine whether a suspect committed the crime.
In 1978, Elizabeth Blackburn, working with Joe Gall, identified the DNA sequence of telomeres. Every time a cell divides, it gets shorter. But telomeres usually don't. So there must be something happening to the telomeres to keep their length in equilibrium.
Superhero stories are kind of in my DNA from childhood on, so I think I'm genetically drawn to playing in the genre when the opportunity presents itself.
My father always says that heroism is in the Pashtun DNA.
