Anne Wojcicki Quotes

One of the most exciting aspects of 23andMe is that we're enabling you to watch a revolution unfold live during your lifetime, and I think that the decoding of the genome, in my opinion, is the most fascinating discovery of our lifetime, and you get to be part of it.

I never dreamed that in my lifetime my own genome would be sequenced.

My family and I were some of the first people to be genotyped.

And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.

Even if we never cure a single disease, the Human Genome Project and other ventures will have been worth it.

We need 10,000 genomes, not 100, to start to understand the link between genetics, disease and wellness.

If genetic research doesn't seemed to have lived up to its therapeutic promise, it's because sequencing is just too slow and expensive.

I think there are people who's lives have been saved because of the study of the genome.

I am thrilled to see my genome.

Billions of dollars have been put into genetic research.

Genomics is a new idea. Like the PC, it's not obvious at first that anyone would want one. It's like, 'Hey, we've already got one genome, why do we need more?'

Now, as the world's scientists focus with increasing intensity on transforming the genetic codes of every living creature into information that can be used to treat and ultimately prevent disease, Shenzhen is home to a different kind of factory: B.G.I., formerly called Beijing Genomics Institute, the world's largest genetic-research center.

Genomic science, as the newest frontier in scholarly research, is throwing open the door to a revolutionary way of approaching our health, the health and welfare of animals, and the sustainability of our environment.

The Human Genome Project has given us a genetic parts list.

With Halcyon's technology, the pool of genetic information will grow by orders of magnitude in the course of months, offering the first real chance at cures for cancer and other previously intractable diseases.

With a hundred and seventy-eight machines to sequence the precise order of the billions of chemicals within a molecule of DNA, B.G.I. produces at least a quarter of the world's genomic data - more than Harvard University, the National Institutes of Health, or any other scientific institution.

During this period, I became interested in how the new techniques of cloning and sequencing DNA could influence the study of genetics and I was an early and active proponent of the Human Genome Sequencing Project.

The important thing is that we now have the tools to sequence all kinds of animals and plants and microbes - as well as humans. It is not important that we didn't actually finish the human sequence yet.

There have been lots of stories written about all the hype over getting the genome done and the letdown of not discovering lots of cures right after.

I do believe at some point in time everyone will be genotyped at birth.

The science of genetics will complicate immensely national health insurance.

The Human Genome Project alone is the Full Employment Act for bioethicists.

We have discovered over 95 percent of all the genes that have been discovered by science off the deck of my sailboat.

I think I've achieved some good things; doing the first genome in history - my team on that was phenomenal and all the things they pulled together; writing the first genome with a synthetic cell; my teams at the Venter Institute, Human Longevity, and before that Celera.

You can get so much value just from being genotyped.
