Gene Quotations | Page 2

Sally Jenkins of the 'Washington Post' is the best sports columnist in the country. Second best is Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN.com, and third is Dan Wetzel on Yahoo!

Random people, celebrities of note come to your shows over the years, and I've had some really strange ones. Like the guy from Kiss. Gene Simmons has literally been in the audience at my shows, like, four times. I don't know if he knows me; he's just a big fan of comedy.

Our experiments are very clear. You inhibit this gene and you get a clone that has no way of ever implanting. But this clone can make embryonic stem cells.

Our experimental results agreed with the computational findings, indicating that these ratchetting points mediate the removal of intron subfragments in one direction as the gene is transcribed initially from DNA into RNA,

African-Americans who have this variant are almost certain to develop heart attacks. If you remove this gene variant from the population you would remove almost 20 percent of heart attacks in Africans-Americans.

Some people like to say that Gene has never been a winning manager. But he has been a winning manager when you consider that some of the teams he had were in the pennant race when they really had no business being there.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.'This was said by gene wilder ... what does it mean ?

You put funny people in funny costumes and paint them green and we could talk about anything we wanted to, because that was the only thing that fascinated Gene about this particular genre.

This is the first time anyone has actually been able to infiltrate an antigenic variation program. We forced the cell to switch our gene on and others off.

This is not just an academic exercise by a bunch of nerdy gene hunters. This is the engine that will transform medicine.

This is not just an academic exercise by a bunch of nerdy gene hunters. This is an effort that will transform medicine.

This gene has immediate relevance for a small number of families, but the broader implications are important for the understanding they bring of how cysts develop in the kidney.

This is a first step in showing that we can restore a normal, functioning gene in a cancer cell, a gene that normally causes that cell to be cancerous when it's defective.

And I got to play lead with Gene Barry - a fellow who has never, ever been hard on the eyes!

A lot of human diseases are caused by multiple gene mutations that are difficult to identify.

A common gene variant conferring elevated risk of (type 2 diabetes) has been earnestly sought by the genetics community for many years.

It seems that physical activity had an even more pronounced effect among those with the susceptibility gene apoe4, the most important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

It was exciting and humbling to see the bird. It gives the birding world a glimmer of hope. It may still be a biological dead end. There may not be enough of a gene pool left, maybe only two or three pairs of birds.

For each gene in your genome, you quite often get a different version of that gene from your father and a different version from your mother. We need to study these relationships across a very large number of people.

For 30 years scientists have suspected that gene regulation has played a central role in human evolution. In addition to lending support to the idea that changes in gene regulation are a key part of our evolutionary history, these new results help to define exactly which regulatory factors may be important, at least in certain tissues. This helps open the door to a functional dissection of the role of gene regulation during the evolution of modern humans.

For a decade, I had been studying a transparent worm, the C. elegans. I immediately thought, if you could put the G.F.P. gene into C. elegans, you'd then be able to see biological processes in live animals. Until then, we had to kill them and prepare their tissues chemically to visualize proteins or active genes within cells.

It looks like there has been little if any gene loss in our own species lineage in the last 6 million years.

It's funny that on a little rock in the North Atlantic we found a gene variant that has so much impact on the risk of heart disease in a totally different part of the world. We may look a little bit different on the surface but we are all part of the same family.

That means there's hope. Gene Upshaw made a commitment to the union that he's not backing down, and we support him 100 percent. The owners must finally realize if they don't come back to the table, the ramifications are potentially catastrophic.

That isn't true at all. We haven't received one call criticizing Gene for how he's handled this.

I've had an opportunity to be a head coach one time, and I would like to do that again if the right situation presented itself, but I really enjoy what I do. What I do, and what Gene does, is really more fun than being a head coach. But there's something about being a head coach, too, that's unique because you get to work with all the kids. If it presents itself, it would be wonderful.

No individual gene is responsible alone for the high virulence,

They were very private people. Gene approved the idea (for the television movie) but he didn't want to be involved. He said it would be too difficult for him.

There's this halo, sacrosanct idea of gene therapy, that no one could be involved unless they're completely trustworthy, that maybe left more blinders on than in other areas.

There's the lowest form of human filth that ever crawled out of the gene pool masquerading as a human being,

I'm no ethnomusicologist. There is a connection between the five-note scale used both in traditional Chinese music and the blues, but I don't really understand it. All I know is, whenever I play with Chinese musicians, we seem to belong to the same musical gene pool.

I kind of knew it from the beginning. When we beat Blue Ridge in the first game of the Gene Lee Tournament, I knew this was going to be our year.

I never really sat down with Gene Stallings and talked about the program and the things he went through, and gleaned from that knowledge. I'm not going to make that mistake again. ... There are some things that are common to all jobs, and some are unique to each situation, and those are things I want to sit down with David and talk about.

I originally wanted to go into sports, but my first concert was KISS at the shooting of 'KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park.' The minute I saw Gene and Paul... it was all over. I knew that's what I wanted to do.

If you patent a discovery which is unique, say a human gene or even just one particular function of a human gene, then you are actually creating a monopoly, and that's not the purpose of the world of patents.

If you go and perform in a KISS tribute band, there's nothing wrong with it. If you name your kids after Gene Simmons, that's odd.

In the genomics world, we are supporting Craig Venter's original vision of getting an ability to have gene sequencing occur for the masses. While we have a single genome sequenced, the real benefits for humanity come when there are tens of thousands of genomes sequenced and the computing power available today can correlate certain sequences with certain diseases or drug interactions.

In simple terms, the data shows that in mammals each individual gene uses multiple different mechanisms to produce different forms of protein. In a sense, each 'gene' is actually multiple different genes,

I love the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies; they're so beautiful to look at. It's such a shame we don't make them anymore. Although, I don't know how you could make tap dancing current and topical.

I know Gene is going to be looking into it. Our seat at the table will be Gene Upshaw.

I know, I know - men have that extra hero gene in their foolish makeup; it's part of our charm. But I happen to know some women who have their inner sports hero, too.

I just have that cop gene going on. I like strong women. I think a lot of women relate to strong characters, and a cop is still a strong character.

In time, targeted gene therapy may help improve the outlook for many types of cancer. While we have a long way to go, I am increasingly optimistic about new gene therapy approaches to earlier treatment and, ultimately, to a strategy that may help prevent cancer development.

In the past, researchers had to use many different programs to address all the requirements of the separate steps of synthetic gene design.

ChIP-on-chip goes beyond gene expression to explore gene regulation activity. Regulatory proteins bind to genomic DNA to control DNA replication and gene expression, thereby functioning as switches in the regulatory circuitry of cells. Combine this information with gene expression data and you get biomarkers.

He's smart, he's funny and he's got fire in his belly. I can already tell he's got the hunter' gene I've always looked for in a partner. We're trying to build a place where we have smart, talented people who are like magnets for clients and future employees. John is certainly one of those magnets.

I didn't smoke. I didn't smoke then, and I don't smoke now. We worked every day - that keeps you in pretty good shape. We could go for a long time in one take. You had to be in good shape with Gene Kelly.

Gene was a lifelong friend and our professional competition only strengthened that bond, ... He showed great bravery in the months after his surgery, continuing to work as long as he could.

Gene was a great player. Is he worthy of being in the Hall of Fame? Does he have all the qualifications to be in? No question about it. I have no idea what's keeping him out, but it's time to put him in.

Gene Upshaw (NFLPA executive director) is doing all he can to get the best deal for the players. And the NFL owners are trying to feel like they're not slighted in any way. There has to be an agreement sooner or later. We hope we get it done.

Gene thinks we're making all this money because of Gene Upshaw. No, we're making all of this money because of TV. This sport is huge, and what's going on right now is hurting all of us.

Gene therapy has been out of favor but we're finally getting to the point where the products are in later stage clinical trials.

Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future was really important to me growing up because it said when the future comes, there will be people like you who are vital and important to that mission of going out there and boldly exploring.

Gene 'Mr. America' Stanlee was one of my favorites as a younger boy. I think he was one of the best 'showmen' in the business, but I never would bet on him in a 'shoot' even if it was against my Aunt Tillie after we dug her up from the grave. I saw him in a match with Guy LaRose when Guy had to put him over two straight. That was when LaRose was leaving Paul Bowser's office and heading for Chicago where he became 'Hans Schmidt.' Guy didn't like it one but, but did his job. Gene was extremely hot at that time and was selling out wherever he went.

Gene has been a valuable member of our team and McAfee would like to thank him for his leadership as well as the many contributions he has made to our business during his tenure.

Gene had such a friendly, smooth and comfortable style that listening to the game was like listening to nice music. It was just pleasant. Gene's style is what impressed me the most.

Gene Clark was in the Christy Minstrels. He left. And so when Gene and David and Roger got together with Chris, and then off they went.

Gene bet on Bobby, but I've forgiven him since.

Gene and I just fell in love with the stories of these characters and the romance of these super-powered outlaw stations,

Gene and I have a conversation (about the show's emphasis on racial equality), and then he talks to the producer, and it is in that scene where he tells him it probably won't be in this century.

If Gene moves up, we'll have a good council. It will be more business-like in running the city. Before, staff ran almost everything.

I certainly didn't think it would be broken quickly. You coach to your strength, and Gene was certainly our strength. He was so quick in picking things up, he understood how to attack defenses and he had such a great release.

I can re-create everything in my lab, but it's going to be painful. Stem cells in the gene banks and the cancer cells in the tumor banks: Those are irreplaceable.

These findings are new to science. The contribution we have made is showing that neuroD2 is related to the development of the amygdala. This is the first time that a specific neurodevelopmental gene has been related to these emotional activities in the brain.

All I can say is that Gene and I are on the same page. I love that about him, the communication and the openness. It's amazing how he came to me and we talked and we know exactly where both guys are.

The hottest trash-disco star in the world: Ke$ha! She has a lot in common with Kiss, actually, even spelling her name with a dollar sign the way Gene Simmons probably always wanted to.

The healthy P-53 gene can then begin to trigger the self-destruction program for the cancer cell.

The gene 'klotho' was named after the Greek Fate purported to spin the thread of life, because it contributes to longevity.

The difference between humans and Neanderthals is .004 percent of gene code. That's how big the difference is, one species to another.

Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live.
