The very genetic determinism I posited in World's End as a…

Recently, results of the Human Genome Project have shattered one of Science's fundamental core beliefs, the concept of genetic determinism. We have been led…

“There is no evidence against genetic determinism more persuasive than the children of the rich.”

— Jeffrey Eugenides

“Thus transcription factors regulate genes. What regulates transcription factors? The answer devastates the concept of genetic determinism: the environment.”

— Robert M. Sapolsky

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…

Heritability pertains to the entirety of the genome, not to a single gene.

— Steven Pinker

I think there are people who's lives have been saved because of the study of the genome.

— Francis Collins

Though social eugenics was discredited long ago, we still often think of the genome in quasi-eugenic terms. When we read about the latest discovery…

“In other words, the more genomically complex the organism, the larger the percentage of the genome devoted to gene regulation by the environment.”

— Robert M. Sapolsky

While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for…

By being able to write a genome and plug it into an organism, the software, if you will, changes the hardware.

— Barry Schuler

“Every new discovery about the genome is consistent with evolution having happened. Whether we find it appealing or not is another question, but personally…

— Richard Fortey

This is a whole new era where we're moving beyond little edits on single genes to being able to write whatever we want throughout…

— George M. Church

An important finding is that by determining the genome sequences of an entire family, one can identify many DNA sequencing errors and thus greatly…
