The more that I looked at DNA, the more I realized it was nature and nurture. It's how genes and your environment work together to produce the person you are.

I'm fascinated with genetic science, and I have been for a very long time. I always look at science and technology because I think that the developments in my lifetime have been so remarkable - and we're only at the tip of the iceberg with projects like decoding the human genome.

I was raised by strong women, and that DNA is in my daughter and wife.

It's good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It's DNA, it's in your blood.

Throughout my life, I've had consistent DNA.

Today we try to identify a gene and then study its properties.

DNA is a 'thing' - a chemical that sticks to your fingers.

Our understanding of how DNA informs our health and development is advancing at an incredible pace.

Trying to read our DNA is like trying to understand software code - with only 90% of the code riddled with errors. It's very difficult in that case to understand and predict what that software code is going to do.

I fell in love with the elegance and precision of genetic analysis and experimentation to answer profound biological questions.
