Animals Quote by Craig Mello

New molecular methods that add or modify genes can protect plants from diseases and pests and improve crops in ways that are both more…

You can eliminate, for example, a Brazil nut gene if you know that it will create an allergenic effect.

— Jeremy Rifkin

“Genetic engineering was messy. To force a sequence of foreign DNA into a plant, you couldn’t just snip the desired gene from the bacteria…

— Kenneth Eade

“Genes in each cell set plant potential; environment governs size and quality...”

— Lou Voorhees

I'm not keen on interfering with nature; I don't want to edit my genome.

— Jon Hopkins

I mean, we're really making a quantum change in our relationship to the plant world with genetic modification.

— Michael Pollan

“In the late 1970s, scientists working on gene-silencing discovered that the attachment of a small molecule-a methyl group-to DNA was correlated with a gene's…

The regulation of genes is often more interesting than the genes themselves, and it's the environment that regulates genes.

— Robert M. Sapolsky

In agriculture, people have taken wild plants that can't be eaten by people - and turned them into wonderful food sources. And that's because…

CRISPR-enabled 'gene drives' enable us to make changes to the germ-line of organisms permanent such that changes spread through the entire wild population, including…

— Dominic Cummings

“Whole batteries of genes are turned on and off during fly development, and this pattern of gene activity serves to demarcate the different regions…

— Neil Shubin

“...every new genetically engineered plant is a unique event in nature, bringing its own set of genetic contingencies. This means that the reliability or…
