Episode 8: What makes us different and the same: Genetic Variation
Manage episode 268033225 series 2763643
Our DNA makes us unique. It also makes us similar to each other - sometimes more and sometimes less. How? Dr. Sabah Kadri and Arshi Arora explore similarities and differences in our DNA. And in the process, they discuss milestone genomics projects in human beings such as dbSNP, the HapMap project and Genome Wide Association Studies. They look at studies all the way from one that looks at genetic factors involved in Covid-19 to one that investigates the genetics of curly hair. This one is a fun ride.
