Chris Toumazou Quotes

Genes themselves are made of bits.

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

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.

Your genome isn't really secret.

The origin of each of us stems from codes of genetic inheritance.

We know that at conception, the genetic code is there for a unique individual. This is not something that is just a religious belief.

It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material.

The human genome contains so much data that, it has been calculated, it would fill 43 volumes of Webster's International Dictionary.

Each part of our genome is unique. We would not be alive if there was not a single mathematical solution for our chromosomes. We would just be scrambled goo.

Nuclear DNA encodes all the proteins and enzymes that make you you, basically.

People are comprised of sets of DNA from each parent. If you looked at just the DNA from your father, it wouldn't tell you who you really are.

My genetic makeup is a little bit crazy.

Genes are natural resources.

The information encoded in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics, such as sex, eye color, age and Social Security number.

Genes that underlie the capacity to receive, use and transmit information are the evolving properties.

Heredity is nothing but stored environment.

You can't have life without the genetic code.

DNA is the master blueprint for life and constitutes the genetic material in all free-living organisms and most viruses. RNA is the genetic material of certain viruses, but it is also found in all living cells, where it plays an important role in certain processes such as the making of proteins.

If we think of our chromosomes - they carry our genetic material - as being like shoelaces, I work on the plastic tips at the end that protect them.

Genetics is all about showcasing human beauty along with high-quality performance.

Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

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.

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.

I first heard about 'genes' when I was six years old. At dinner one night, I heard my mom tell my sister, 'It's in your genes.'
