1040 examples of Genetic in a sentence

Now, what you can't see is that our genetic program instructs these bacteria to each produce small molecules, and these molecules travel between the thousands of individual bacteria telling them when to turn on and off.
Now, our genetic program relies on a natural phenomenon called quorum sensing, in which bacteria trigger coordinated and sometimes virulent behaviors once they reach a critical density.
Our genetic program continues producing these rhythmic patterns of fluorescent proteins as the colony grows outwards.
Our ability to write the genetic code has been moving pretty slowly but has been increasing, and our latest point would put it on, now, an exponential curve.
The exciting phase came when we took this piece of inert chemical and put it in the bacteria, and the bacteria started to read this genetic code, made the viral particles.
So we can use the genetic code to write out words, sentences, thoughts.
This is over 580,000 letters of genetic code; it's the largest molecule ever made by humans of a defined structure.
If we printed it out at a 10 font with no spacing, it takes 142 pages just to print this genetic code.
All the proteins changed, the membranes changed; when we read the genetic code, it's exactly what we had transferred in.
You know, we don't know necessarily what it'll look like: we know exactly what their genetic code looks like.
Well, it means that just as the English language is made up of alphabetic letters that, when combined into words, allow me to tell you the story I'm going to tell you today, DNA is made up of genetic letters that, when combined into genes, allow cells to produce proteins, strings of amino acids that fold up into complex structures that perform the functions that allow a cell to do what it does, to tell its stories.
The English alphabet has 26 letters, and the genetic alphabet has four.
They are often just referred to as G, C, A and T. But it's remarkable that all the diversity of life is the result of four genetic letters.
What if the genetic alphabet had more letters?
In 1999, my lab at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California started working on this question with the goal of creating living organisms with DNA made up of a six-letter genetic alphabet, the four natural letters plus two additional new man-made letters.
Every living cell, every living cell ever, has made every one of its proteins using a four-letter genetic alphabet.
My lab is already working on expanding the genetic alphabet of other cells, including human cells, and we're getting ready to start working on more complex organisms.
The data from that then can be used to understand the geographic and genetic diversity, which then can be used to help us understand how these are being changed immunologically, and what type of reactions they promote.
Alzheimer's isn't, for the most part, a genetic disease.
And hopefully come up with a genetic profile that will help identify their perpetrator.
Once forensic scientists come up with this genetic profile, they enter it into CODIS, hopefully have a match.
The CRISPR technology allows scientists to make changes to the DNA in cells that could allow us to cure genetic disease.
This allows the cells to keep a record of infection, and as my colleague, Blake Wiedenheft, likes to say, the CRISPR locus is effectively a genetic vaccination card in cells.
So if we have a way to introduce double-stranded breaks into DNA at precise places, we can trigger cells to repair those breaks, by either the disruption or incorporation of new genetic information.
Right now, the genetic information to understand what types of genes would give rise to these traits is mostly not known.
It's all about genetic enhancement, it's not about therapeutics.
There are other groups of animals that also have genetic sex determination, but their systems can be pretty different from ours.
Certain groups have taken genetic sex determination in completely other directions.
For humans, that system is a genetic XY system.
Well, things like our genetic makeup and the microbes we encounter throughout our lives can contribute to our microbial ecosystems.
