I then began to wonder, as I had many times before, how my life would have been different had this man not injured me, had my genes been fed a different helping of experience.

It seemed that we could be nothing more than genes and experience, but how to tease out the one from the other?

We found nuclear mitochondrial genes.

It's fashionable at the moment because what's been shown is that within the brain, a whole raft of genes have been shown to be turned on only during sleep, and those genes are associated with restoration and metabolic pathways.

Well, genes that have been shown to be very important in the generation of normal sleep, when mutated, when changed, also predispose individuals to mental health problems.

Is it nature, genes, or is it nurture?

And the trick that Richard Dawkins does, which is to say, to look at them as simply as genes, as vehicles for genes.

So he's saying, what do genes want?

Our investigators have found that there are certain genes in the lung tumor cells of both women and men.

And these genes are activated mainly by estrogen.

And when these genes are over-expressed, it's associated with improved survival only in young women.

Think of the genes as a software.

The result is that the genes providing the highest resistance and toxicity will be passed on in greatest quantities to the next generations.

If each cell is a smartphone and the apps are the genes, when you get your smartphone, it comes with these built-in apps.

Those are like the core genes of Prochlorococcus.

And it turns out that projections are that the collective has 80,000 genes.

With 2,000 genes, they can do what all of our human ingenuity has not figured out how to do yet.

And one of the things I'm going to spend a lot of time focusing on are the genes that can cause autism.

I'm focusing on this not because genes are the only cause of autism, but it's a cause of autism that we can readily define and be able to better understand the biology and understand better how the brain works so that we can come up with strategies to be able to intervene.

It is not that genes account for all of the risk for autism, but yet they account for a lot of that risk, because when you look at fraternal twins, that concordance rate is only 31 percent.

But with this, that doesn't tell us what the genes are.

It doesn't even tell us in any one child, is it one gene or potentially a combination of genes?

However, in other individuals, it's genetic, that is, that it's actually a combination of genes in part with the developmental process that ultimately determines that risk for autism.

So the question becomes, how can we start to identify what exactly those genes are.

And we can actually use that strategy to now understand and to identify those genes causing autism in those individuals.

So in fact, at the Simons Foundation, we took 2,600 individuals that had no family history of autism, and we took that child and their mother and father and used them to try and understand what were those genes causing autism in those cases?

In fact, the current estimates are that there are 200 to 400 different genes that can cause autism.

Although there are that many genes, there is some method to the madness.

It's not simply random 200, 400 different genes, but in fact they fit together.

We're starting to have a bottom-up approach where we're identifying those genes, those proteins, those molecules, understanding how they interact together to make that neuron work, understanding how those neurons interact together to make circuits work, and understand how those circuits work to now control behavior, and understand that both in individuals with autism as well as individuals who have normal cognition.
