| NOTES: |
The sequencing of the entire human genome - all three billion DNA bases encoding the assembly and operating instructions for a human being - has set the stage for a vast revolution in biomedical science. The human genome, especially when compared with the genomes of close cousins such as the mouse, turns out to be a storybook of human evolution, revealing, for example all of humanity's common origin in Africa a mere two to three thousand generations ago. The fully sequenced human genome also provides a manual for a new style of medicine, better tailored to individuals and offering new treatments informed by a detailed molecular understanding of human biology. In four compelling presentations before an audience of high school students, Dr. Stuart Schreiber and Dr. Eric Lander open a window onto the fast-paced world of genomic science and chemical genetics. They emphasize how molecular biology, robotics, and advanced computation, combined with intense teamwork, characterize a new generation of biomedical research. These presentations feature state of the art animations and compelling graphics. |
