ЁЯзм40% off. Pre-sale - Genetics, You & Your Genome.ЁЯзм
We live in an age of genomics. A full genome can now be sequenced for less than the price of a high-end smartphone; the genetic underpinnings of diseases have never been easier to identify; the genomes of animals and plants can be precision-edited; it’s even possible to pull DNA out of the bones of animals – and humans – that walked the Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago.
In this short course, an introduction to genetics, we will take you on a journey of discovery.
From a simple starting point – what exactly is a gene? – you'll ultimately arrive at questions for which there are no easy answers: Are there ethical implications that should be considered when using an at-home genetics test kit? Should we seek to use powerful new genome editing tools like CRISPR to eliminate genetic diseases? Where will our deeper understanding of the human genome lead us?
