There's no molecular test, there's no sequencing of
genes
that was referred to yesterday, there's no fancy looking at the chromosomes.
So, it is the idea of sequencing all of the
genes
in the cancer, and giving us a new lexicon, a new dictionary to describe it.
We can tell who's going to get breast cancer from the various
genes.
And what you can do now is, you can outlay exactly what your chromosome is, and what the gene code on that chromosome is right here, and what those
genes
code for, and what animals they code against, and then you can tie it to the literature.
That's what your
genes
are doing.
That's what your
genes
are doing every day.
That's why sometimes a person's
genes
don't have to change a lot to get cancer.
Because in ALL leukemia, that set of
genes
over there over-expresses.
In MLL, it's the middle set of genes, and in AML, it's the bottom set of
genes.
So, these
genes
are indeed going back to the populations.
Some recent stories: nanobees zap tumors with real bee venom; they're sending
genes
into the brain; a robot they built that can crawl through the human body.
Because we don't want to move
genes
around?

genes
around.
But this much we can say: the variety of
genes
on the planet in viruses exceeds, or is likely to exceed, that in all of the rest of life combined.
The active ingredient was dioxin, an extremely toxic chemical that was sprayed in vast quantities, and whose effects passed through the
genes
to the next generation.
So we're working with George Church at Harvard, who has already moved the
genes
for four major traits from the now well-preserved, well-studied genome of the woolly mammoth, thanks to so-called "ancient DNA analysis."
And in the lab, he has moved those
genes
into living Asian elephant cell lines, where they're taking up their proper place thanks to CRISPR.
I mean, they're not shooting the
genes
in like you did with genetic engineering.
So, this work with emotions, which are so fundamental, then got us to thinking about: Maybe the fundamental causes of human social networks are somehow encoded in our
genes.
And, in fact, when we did some experiments looking at this, what we found is that 46 percent of the variation in how many friends you have is explained by your
genes.
For instance, 47 percent in the variation in whether your friends know each other is attributable to your
genes.
Whether your friends know each other has not just to do with their genes, but with yours.
And finally, we even found that 30 percent of the variation in whether or not people are in the middle or on the edge of the network can also be attributed to their
genes.
It's been a 15-year quest just to get to the starting point now to be able to answer those questions, because it's very difficult to eliminate multiple
genes
from a cell.
We decided early on that we had to take a synthetic route, even though nobody had been there before, to see if we could synthesize a bacterial chromosome so we could actually vary the gene content to understand the essential
genes
for life.
Further advances came when the team removed the restriction enzyme
genes
from the recipient capricolum cell.
Some of these infections are actually carrying antibiotic resistance
genes
now, and that makes them even more difficult.
We were going to read their
genes
like a recipe book, find out what it was they wanted to eat and put it in their petri dishes, and then they would grow and be happy.
But when we looked at their genes, it turns out that what they wanted to eat was the food we were already feeding them.
The headlines tell us that
genes
can give us scary diseases, maybe even shape our personality, or give us mental disorders.
