Aside from bringing back extinct species, reanimation COULD help LIVING ones by restoring lost genetic DIVERSITY. The Tasmanian devil (aka Sarcophilus harrisii) is so inbred at this point that most species members can EXCHANGE tumor cells WITHOUT rejection.

Our ANCESTORS didn't NEED any genetic enhancements to be able to SIT for twelve hours a day and eat fatty, sugary FOODS, but we need enhancements that handle that altered ENVIRONMENT.

There are a few genetic TRAITS that make people FEEL sorry for you, and there are some, like narcolepsy, at which people take personal OFFENSE UNLESS you TELL them in advance.

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.

It is essential for genetic material to be able to MAKE exact copies of itself; otherwise growth would PRODUCE disorder, life could not originate, and favourable FORMS would not be perpetuated by natural selection.

The word 'code' turns out to be a really important word for my book, 'The INFORMATION.' The GENETIC code is just one example. We talk now about coders, coding. COMPUTER GUYS are coders. The stuff they write is code.

I am an Ashkenazi Jew, and there are a WHOLE host of GENETIC disorders that only Ashkenazi Jews have. I don't KNOW if you know this, but 16 or 17 disorders that we carry the GENE for.

My wife and I had been to the GENETIC COUNSELOR; my wife is not Jewish - she's the shiksha goddess type - and was NEGATIVE for EVERYTHING. But I was positive. I carried the gene for THREE genetic disorders, which, if she had been positive for, we would have passed down to the child.

Feature-length film comedy is harder to pull off than the episodic SITCOM - it doesn't have the same factory machinery up and running, teams of writers PUTTING FAMILIAR CHARACTERS through permutations - but that doesn't explain the widening quality gap that makes movie humor LOOK like a genetic defective.

When you're your PARENTS' one shot at a genetic legacy, you may GET to ATTEND all the best schools, WEAR all the best clothes and eat all the best foods - at least relative to children in multiple-sibling households. But you also wind up with an overweening sense of your own importance.

It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to disentangle how MUCH of my storytelling urge is the product of growing up with novelist parents and how much is a GENETIC legacy from those same parents.

Those who have contributed great positive INNOVATIONS to our society, from the pioneers of genetic UNDERSTANDING to the pioneers of the Information Age, have RECEIVED a pittance COMPARED with those responsible for the financial innovations that brought our global economy to the BRINK of ruin.

Truth is, I have been scared of BIRDS SINCE I was a LITTLE girl. I THINK it's GENETIC because my mom shares this fear with me.

Guys do not have a genetic BLUEPRINT that allows them to UNDERSTAND or LOVE sports.

I have created a capsule collection for Genetic inspired by memories of growing up in LA. Denim has always been my go-to, especially during my MODELLING DAYS. I DISCOVERED Genetic Denim about five years ago - they are so comfy, you could ALMOST be wearing your pyjamas.
