In terms of total micro-organisms in the floodwaters this is about as bad as it can get.

Paul Pierce

Krill feed on the tiniest organisms in the sea, and many, many animals rely on krill. They're one of the most important species in the food web.

Mike Burner

In a few years, we have gone from knowing almost nothing that could be characterized as genomic ... to having complete genome sequences for many organisms, and now a nearly complete catalog of the common genetic differences among people.

David Goldstein

There would have been climate change and the organisms were challenged by a new environment.

Laurie Graham

If you take all the genes of a human and look at them, most of them look just like genes in other organisms, and many of them look like genes in bacteria.

John Gerhart

We have a lot to learn about how these organisms are emerging in our environment.

Susan Haseltine

It's a shotgun approach. You put the microbes through a blender, and then sequence the fragments of DNA that are floating around. Then you use a lot of computing power to reconstruct the genomes of this collection of organisms.

Larry Smarr

In other words, two cells of the unicellular organisms were found in a fused state.

Ranjit K. Kar

I'm concerned for these diseased organisms. Some of it probably gets loose.

John Windsor

Amphibians are one of the latest groups of organisms to show us changes are afoot on the landscape. They're susceptible to a lot of things that would be good for us to pay attention to. If you're losing them, you start to look at why. Is the landscape changing, and for what reasons? And are those reasons going to affect us, too?

Jae Abel

The most advanced organisms at the time were bacteria, so there isn't a big extinction event you can identify as cut-and-dry as the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Donald Lowe

We are embedded in a biological world and related to the organisms around us.

Walter Gilbert

What it tells us about the desert is that this is a great place to go and look for really interesting new organisms.

Brian Lanoil

The organisms found in ice are survivors. Small ecosystems in the ice have apparently adapted to extremely cold conditions.

Liane Benning

It is a story of how organisms are challenged in a new environment. They have to make themselves over so they can survive.

Bruce Klein

These single-celled organisms are extremely sensitive to environmental changes.

Gerta Keller

You would find a few organisms that just grew like crazy. We call them 'weeds' because they take advantage of the luxurious conditions found in the lab but they might not be the ones who are important out in the real world, where it isn't so luxurious.

Bruce Rittmann

I have strong moral objections to creating human organisms in order to harvest cells from them in a way that destroys them. But those objections simply would not apply to proposals that would not in fact involve human organisms.
