The Sheekey Science Show | What the human genome sequence doesn't tell you. @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Until recently ~8% of the human genome sequence was missing. It is now sequenced - yay!
But, what information does the human genome sequence actually tell us - is it the 'book of life' as you may hear it described?
Why did it take us so long to get the full sequence, how was it done? What are the consequences or next steps now we have the full sequence.
These are just a few of the questions i raise and discuss in this video.
