Bruce Lipton Quotes

If you talk to geneticists they are constantly finding that your genes are being switched on and off because of the environment. Genes alone do not determine an exact path in your life.

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic information.

The genome was once thought to be just the blueprint for a living organism, like a combination of the architect's plan for a building and the builder's list of supplies. It specified the parts, the building blocks, and, somehow, the design of the whole, the way in which they are to be put together.

No one knows what the nongenetic causes of individuality are. Perhaps people are shaped by modifications of genes that take place after conception, or by haphazard fluctuations in the chemical soup in the womb or the wiring up of the brain or the expression of the genes themselves.

One of the things that got me interested in genetics was the relationship between genes and environment. We are all dealt a certain deck of cards, but our environment can influence the outcomes.

Knowing that changing lifestyle changes our genes is often very motivating - not to blame, but to empower.

Yes, genes are important for understanding our behavior. Incredibly important - after all, they code for every protein pertinent to brain function, endocrinology, etc., etc. But the regulation of genes is often more interesting than the genes themselves, and it's the environment that regulates genes.

Genes are a play within a play, not the interior monologue of the players.

Genes themselves are made of bits.

Genes are not destiny!

Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA.

The nucleic acids have considerable biological importance because of their role in cell growth and in the transmission of hereditary characters.

Genetics is about how information is stored and transmitted between generations.

We found out that, contrary to what many people thought, in the immune system, genes can change during the life cycle of the individual.

We all have genes that come from our ancestors that aren't used - they're not turned on. So we actually carry ancient genes with us. If you could figure out how to turn those on, you could resurrect ancient characteristics from our ancestors.

There are many ways in which genes influence the brain.

By then, I was making the slow transition from classical biochemistry to molecular biology and becoming increasingly preoccupied with how genes act and how proteins are made.

Heritability pertains to the entirety of the genome, not to a single gene.

Once the principle is there, that cells have the same genes, my own personal belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work.

Our experience in fooling around with the genes of mice has taught us that many of the traits that interest us are not definite products of specific mutations but emergent phenomena arising from extremely complex interactions between genes, environment, and life experience.

We can't any longer have the conventional understanding of genetics which everybody peddles because it is increasingly obvious that epigenetics - actually things which influence the genome's function - are much more important than we realised.

It's often meaningless to talk about a genetic trait without also discussing the environment in which that trait appears. Sometimes, genes don't work at all until the environment awakens them.

Heredity proposes and development disposes.

The body is merely an evolutionary vehicle for the gene

Genes are little items that are found in every living thing except Sen. Alfonse D'Amato.
