Famous Quotes & Sayings

Creed Bratton

I had always planned to be an actor, and the music was just in my DNA, it's always been.

If the DNA extracted doesn't have enough points to match to a person, it's a partial identification, but we're doing a lot of things to try to generate new technology to identify people with a partial DNA profile.

Morano has told me, 'It's the status quo,' and it's still an ongoing investigation, ... He hasn't told us about the outcome of Roger Bates' DNA test and said when there is something new to report he would let me know.

Dave Pelzer

My fans are buying the DNA of Dave.

Scott Evans

Right away, we realized this could be a great DNA case.

What we didn't have was a DNA that we really thought would be the future of Ford.

Brian Dennehy

I come from an Irish Catholic family, and hell-raising is part of the DNA.

We never thought this day would come. We were quite startled yesterday to hear they had a DNA match.

Nothing is infallible, but it's much more robust today. When performed to specifications, DNA test results are 100 percent accurate.

Brian Acton

Going public is 18-month process, while an acquisition is a 6-month process. Going public means going under so much scrutiny, regulatory approval, auditing, magnified 10 times. Having the stomach to do that isn't necessarily in my DNA. My DNA is building a product and a service.

Kamala Harris

With the advent of DNA, we know that people have been convicted and sentenced to death who later proved not to be guilty of the crime.

Guillermo del Toro

What we read and why we do so defines us in a profound way. You are what you read, I suppose. Browsing through someone’s library is like peeking into their DNA.

Julian Assange

I want to set up a new standard: ‘scientific journalism.’ If you publish a paper on DNA, you are required, by all the good biological journals, to submit the data that has informed your research—the idea being that people will replicate it, check it, verify it. So this is something that needs to be done for journalism as well. There is an immediate power imbalance, in that readers are unable to verify what they are being told, and that leads to abuse.

Kenneth R. Miller

Our own genomes carry the story of evolution, written in DNA, the language of molecular genetics, and the narrative is unmistakable.

Jay Leno

USA Today reports that the number of death row executions this year has hit a 35-year low. They attribute that to DNA evidence clearing more people and the fact that Rick Perry has been on the road campaigning.

Bill Thomas

Our experts tell us that being gang-raped by three men would leave DNA material to be examined.

Mark Bradford

Autopsies will take several days, and if DNA is required, it will even take longer than that.

Chris Stringer

There's about 1,000 times more mitochondrial DNA than nuclear DNA in our cells, so it's much easier to pick up,

Jack Valenti

They are sprung from the same DNA , for God's sake. They are always onstage. They are always performing.

Erwin Chargaff

The results serve to disprove the tetranucleotide hypothesis. It is, however, noteworthy-whether this is more than accidental, cannot yet be said-that in all desoxypentose nucleic acids examined thus far the molar ratios of total purines to total pyrimidines, and also of adenine to thymine and of guanine to cytosine, were not far from 1.

Hugh Martin

In your cells right now, an enzyme is making a copy of your dna in less than two hours, right in the nucleus.

George Carlin

You know something I could really do without? The Space Shuttle. ... It's irresponsible. The last thing we should be doing is sending our grotesquely distorted DNA out into space.

Francis Collins

Yes, evolution by descent from a common ancestor is clearly true. If there was any lingering doubt about the evidence from the fossil record, the study of DNA provides the strongest possible proof of our relatedness to all other living things.

Francis Crick

Finally one should add that in spite of the great complexity of protein synthesis and in spite of the considerable technical difficulties in synthesizing polynucleotides with defined sequences it is not unreasonable to hope that all these points will be clarified in the near future, and that the genetic code will be completely established on a sound experimental basis within a few years.

Francis Crick

One can say, looking at the papers in this symposium, that the elucidation of the genetic code is indeed a great achievement. It is, in a sense, the key to molecular biology because it shows how the great polymer languages, the nucleic acid language and the protein language, are linked together.

Francis Crick

It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material.

And we're not going to do any DNA testing or anything.

We are waiting to see if the DNA matches. While we would like nothing more than to have her killer arrested, we must make sure we punish the right guy.

DNA repair stands as the dike between us and the inundation of mutations.

John Walsh

DNA is the fingerprint of the 21st century,

DNA is our weapon of last resort, ... And I'm at that point.

Joe Warren

DNA is incredibly helpful for us, ... It's about as a good as it gets for us.

Michael Scott

Nicholas: One of the oldest secrets of alchemy is that every living thing, from the most complex creatures right down to the simplest leaf, carries the seeds of its creation within itself. Josh: DNA.
