Genes are natural resources.

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

So much of the physical world has been explored. But the deluge of data I get to investigate really lets me chart new territory. Genetic data from people living today forms an archaeological record of what happened to their ancestors 10,000 years ago.

My father and I made genetics history. We were the first African-Americans and the first father and son anywhere to have their genomes sequenced.

I think genetic research is a fascinating and fertile area.

There's massive government initiatives going around the world, and you see that there's a real enthusiasm for genetics.

I don't know if it's genetic or just because I was surrounded by it, but I was always fascinated with building and construction and development.

Genetic design is something we can use to fight the lack of sustainability we humans are forcing on the earth's environment.

I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet.

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.
