We know from the sequencing of the human genome that it's shown us all of the A's, C's, G's and T's that make up our
genetic
code, but that code, by itself, our DNA, is like looking at the ones and zeroes of the computer code without having a computer that can read it.
We needed to have a way of bringing the biology to that incredible data, and the way to do that was to find a stand-in, a biological stand-in, that could contain all of the
genetic
information, but have it be arrayed in such a way as it could be read together and actually create this incredible avatar.

genetic
disease and we engineer tissues out of them, we can actually use tissue-engineering techniques to generate models of those diseases in the lab.
So that's where we stand at the moment, and I've just got a few final thoughts, which is that this is another way in which biology is now coming in to supplement chemistry in some of our societal advances in this area, and these biological approaches are coming in in very different forms, and when you think about
genetic
engineering, we've now got enzymes for industrial processing, enzymes, genetically engineered enzymes in food.
The real way that I became a model is I won a
genetic

genetic
material.
Now to begin to overcome our ignorance of the role of brain chemistry in brain circuitry, it's helpful to work on what we biologists call "model organisms," animals like fruit flies and laboratory mice, in which we can apply powerful
genetic
techniques to molecularly identify and pinpoint specific classes of neurons, as you heard about in Allan Jones's talk this morning.
I started with my wife, Ryan Phelan, who ran a biotech business called DNA Direct, and through her, one of her colleagues, George Church, one of the leading
genetic
engineers who turned out to be also obsessed with passenger pigeons and a lot of confidence that methodologies he was working on might actually do the deed.
They're still our closest
genetic
kin.
They have more
genetic
relation to us than to gorillas.

genetic
basis.

genetic
differences in populations that may lead to at-risk populations that are at risk of having an adverse drug reaction.
So 100 years ago, hormones had just been discovered, and people hoped that hormone treatments were going to cure aging and disease, and now instead we set our hopes on stem cells,
genetic
engineering, and nanotechnology.
Depression is the result of a
genetic
vulnerability, which is presumably evenly distributed in the population, and triggering circumstances, which are likely to be more severe for people who are impoverished.
