Genetic Blueprints and Information Flow · Genetics & Heredity

Genomics and Mutation

Investigating how changes in the nucleotide sequence lead to genetic variation and disease.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why do some mutations have no effect on phenotype while others are catastrophic?
  2. 2How has the ability to sequence genomes changed our understanding of human health?
  3. 3What ethical considerations arise from our increasing ability to edit the human genome?
