A good leader takes advantage of that.

We can now diagnose diseases that haven't even manifested in the patient, and may not until the fifth decade of life - if at all.

Genome design is going to be a key part of the future. That's why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them.

We need 10,000 genomes, not 100, to start to understand the link between genetics, disease and wellness.

In the past, geneticists have looked at so-called disease genes, but a lot of people have changes in their genes and don't get these diseases. There have to be other parts of physiology and genetics that compensate.

Darwin didn't walk around the Galapagos and come up with the theory of evolution. He was exploring, collecting, making observations. It wasn't until he got back and went through the samples that he noticed the differences among them and put them in context.
