Genome
In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes (the coding regions) and the noncoding DNA, as well as the genetic material of the mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Genome
As we develop all this information [about the human genome], it will reveal the complexity, the interdependence of all this material. It will point to the origin as the result of an intelligent creator, an intelligent agent.
Duane T. Gish, biochemist. How Did the Universe and Life Originate?, Awake! magazine, June 8, 2002.
Genome
It’s a parts list... If I gave you the parts list for the Boeing 777 and it had 100,000 parts, I don’t think you could screw it together and you certainly wouldn’t understand why it flew.
Eric Lander, geneticist. The Quest for a Perfect Society, Awake! magazine, September 22, 2000.
Genome
[A cell’s glycome, however, is] probably many thousands of times more complex than the genome.
Ajit Varki, director of the Glycobiology Research and Training Center at the University of California, San Diego, U.S.A.
Although forests are dynamic systems, the speed of change to which they are subjected is now at an unprecedented level. This is due to factors such as climate change, nitrogen deposition, the introduction of invasive species, and the loss of biodiversity and habitat.
