What Can We Learn From Sequencing Thousands of Human Genomes?
775 775 people viewed this event.
New DNA sequencing technologies have lowered costs per base sequenced by five orders of magnitude since the reference human genome was completed 10 years ago. This talk will explain how projects such as the 1000 Genomes Project are using this to study genetic variation at a population level and how this will change our knowledge of human biology. It will also ask if the possibility of obtaining personal genome sequences has major consequences for individuals.
