I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And of course, identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.
The Human Genome Project has given us a genetic parts list.
In genomics, there's a massive amount of information in which you can look for patterns and develop insights.
Everybody is going to want to look at their genetics. You're going to want to get a genetic profile.
We all want our genetic information. Why would you not want genetic information?
I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about genetic information and what you can and cannot learn. One of the things we try to do is educate individuals that knowing information is empowering.
We know virtually all of the genes known to mammals. We do not know all of the combinations.
Genes are natural resources.
Today we try to identify a gene and then study its properties.
I spent 10 years trying to find one gene.
