If we didn't have genetic mutations, we wouldn't have us. You need error to open the door to the adjacent possible. — Steven Johnson Copy Share Image
A number of well-understood mechanisms, including single gene mutations, produce changes that qualify as macroevolution. These include heterochronic mutations that alter structures… — Kenneth R. Miller Copy Share Image
I think, with every kind of creature and every kind of human, there is no better. We're all just mutations, and I… — Arca Copy Share Image
Life has survived for more than three billion years because it is robust, and almost no mutations can easily outwit the defense… — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change - led to new species.… — Lynn Margulis Copy Share Image
When any fat is heated to frying temperatures, toxic volatile chemicals that can cause genetic mutations are released into the air. — Michael Greger Copy Share Image
“Random mutations much more easily debilitate genes than improve them, and that this is true even of the helpful mutations. Let me… — Michael J. Behe Copy Share Image
Our experience in fooling around with the genes of mice has taught us that many of the traits that interest us are… — Gary Wolf Copy Share Image
There are certain mutations you can find across cancers in different organs. — Eric Topol Copy Share Image
You would think that UV just causes mutations, but it doesn't; you need a gene to be active for it. — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share Image
In the early '90s, we discovered mutations that could double the normal life span of worms. — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share Image
