Benny Lewis: TEDx talk on Rapid Language Hacking
- So I kind of figured, "I don't have the language talent, the language gene," you know?

- Uh, I figured I knew all about I knew everything about ge- uh, genetics, even though I didn't study it, but I figured I was sure, don't have the language gene.

Does COVID Mess With Your DNA?
- Genes may get marked up with tags that tell the cell's machinery to use that gene more or less often.

- The best-understood version of methylation usually adds a tag to quiet the gene down, causing it to be read out less often than it would otherwise.

How To Eradicate One Of Our Deadliest Enemies – Gene Drive & Malaria
- Using genetic engineering, scientists successfully created a strain of mosquitoes that are immune to the malaria parasite by adding a new antibody gene that specifically targets plasmodium.

- So after just two generations, at most only half of the offspring would carry the engineered gene.

Genetic Engineering Will Change Everything Forever – CRISPR
- The first food modified in the lab went on sale in 1994 - the flavor savor tomato, a tomato given a much longer shelf life via an extra gene that suppressed the buildup of a rotting enzyme.
