Quotes

"The big story is that only 3 percent of the bladderwort's genetic material is so-called 'junk DNA," Albert said. "Somehow, this plant has purged most of what makes up plant genomes. What that says is that you can have a perfectly good multicellular plant with lots of different cells, organs, tissue types and flowers, and you can dodo it without the junk. Junk is not needed."
"What we really like about being housed at BIO5 is the access to the medical people," she says. "I'm constantly looking for a downstream partner to test the viability of these compounds."
In the past, he credited his involvement with Armstrong and the U S Postal Service team for   "initiating relationships and building cooperative marketing efforts between so many great companies; U S Postal Service, Visa, Yahoo, Nike, Coca-Cola and many others."
...' He added, "I am proud to add my voice to the growing chorus of scientists who are singing the praises of biodiesel and advocating for an increased commitment that will ensure that biodiesel reaches its full potential as a vital U S energy source."
