Tim Dufault

I was trying to throw a lot of strikes. I stuck to my pitch sequence.

Kevin Dixon

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

[At first, driving the chair was a bit of an intimidating process, admitted Steve Bauer, who's considering buying one.

We mark them with a synthetic DNA strand that can only be seen with a special laser frequency, calibrated to that exact DNA sequence.

Joe Orlando

If we have a protein sequence from bone, we can tell if the material is an original part of the organism that will provide interesting information about its past. We can know where it came from. Our goal is to use a variety of technologies new to paleontology to develop a deeper understanding of prehistoric life - and everyone dreams of embellishing our understanding of dinosaurs.

Peggy Ostrom

During the entire sequence, she was on her cell phone. When we compared it with other robberies that have occurred in the area, we determined she was involved in three other robberies. ... In those cases, she was also on the cell phone.

Bruce Zimet

The ball can change hands a thousand-plus times, but it will never lose that DNA. The chance of replicating this exact DNA sequence is one in 33 trillion, so it's virtually impossible.

Joe Orlando

Early debris, early in the flight path, would be critical because that material would obviously be near the start of the events, ... It would clearly be very important to see the material earliest in the sequence.

Michael Kostelnik

The exact sequence [of events] that occurred here we don't know. Most likely there was some kind of an electrical failure, maybe in the electricity panel, because the backup pump capacity and power should've kicked in and done the work … but the pumps were not receiving electricity and they shut down, and that's when the flooding started.

Joe Haworth

Beginning in 1939, there were events well to the east of Istanbul that seems to have started a progressive sequence to the west. The question is, will the sequence continue further? ... Unfortunately, we think the answer is yes.

Next in the bloom sequence would be our native redbud.

Rachel Emrick

We can take these genes and sequence them.

It's a completely unexplored question; it is the immediate next question you would go to if you want to understand how this gene impacts human behavior.

James Olson

I sat down halfway through that (sequence), I couldn't watch it any more.

Nate Spriggs
