Ewan Birney: The Human Genome
July 22 • Genomics England, UK
Ewan Birney, Chair of GA4GH, joined Rich Scott, Clinical Director of Genomics England, to talk about the Human Genome. “It's not the number of genes that matter, it's how you use them - quite literally how you switch them on and off. There's a lot of complexity in the human genome, not in the types of genes, the building blocks, the types of Lego, but how you put that Lego together inside each cell, which genes are on and which are off. And, you know, it's still unclear just how all of that works.”
