Language is a parasite that we've adapted to, not something that was there originally for our genes, on this view.

The genes are forced into producing all this myelin, all the fat to myelinate the brain.

I am interested in how genes are marked by a chemical mark during embryogenesis, during the time we're in the womb of our mothers, and decide which gene will be expressed in what tissue.

Different genes are expressed in the brain than in the liver and the eye.

So this concept that genes could be marked by our experience, and especially the early life experience, can provide us a unifying explanation of both health and disease.

So if a poor child develops a certain property, we don't know whether this is caused by poverty or whether poor people have bad genes.

So geneticists will try to tell you that poor people are poor because their genes make them poor.

What you see is the genes that got more methylated are red.

The genes that got less methylated are green.

We would map the methylation state, and again, you see the green genes becoming red as stress increases, the red genes becoming green as stress increases, an entire rearrangement of the genome in response to stress.

So if we can program genes, if we are not just the slaves of the history of our genes, that they could be programmed, can we deprogram them?

Their genes are re-marked in a different way, and when the cue comes, their genome is ready to develop this addictive phenotype.

And so you have, in spite of the deterministic nature of genetics, you have control of the way your genes look, and this has a tremendous optimistic message for the ability to now encounter some of the deadly diseases like cancer, mental health, with a new approach, looking at them as maladaptation.

So even though we are determined by our genes, we have a degree of freedom that can set up our life to a life of responsibility.

Twin studies show a strong genetic component, although we don't know which genes are involved.

In fact, the likelihood of developing bipolar disorder is driven by the interactions between many genes in a complicated recipe we're still trying to understand.

We've all inherited our genes from our moms and our dads.

Some of these genes will increase our risk and some will decrease it.

But for most of us, the genes we inherit will only tip the arm a bit.

We can't do anything about getting older or the genes we've inherited.

Now, obviously, that's the time that your brain is being constructed, and that's important, but in addition, experience during those times produce what are called epigenetic changes, permanent, in some cases, permanently activating certain genes, turning off others.

But pushing even further back, back to when you were just a fetus, back to when all you were was a collection of genes.

Now, genes are really important to all of this, but critically, genes don't determine anything, because genes work differently in different environments.

But we've got to push even further back, back millions of years, because if we're talking about genes, implicitly we're now talking about the evolution of genes.

Now this represents the nucleus of a mosquito cell, and that tangle in the middle represents its genome, the sum total of its genes.

The extra copies, however, go and gum up the mosquitoes' genes, killing the organism.

Yes! Yes! (Applause) The X-Men were mutants, individuals with mutated and enhanced genes that triggered in adolescence, giving them superpowers.

In fact, more of our DNA is devoted to genes for different olfactory receptors than for any other type of protein.

I discovered soon enough that genes account for just 25 percent of their longevity.

See, all this time I had been thinking of telomeres as those miniscule molecular structures that they are, and the genes that control telomeres.
