Why Do We Want to Know About Genomes?
Genomics and genomic medicine are very much in the spotlight. But what can genomics tell us about ourselves? And what are clinicians and healthcare scientists looking for when they analyse someone’s genomic information?
In this short film, Dr Michelle Bishop from Health Education England’s Genomics Education Programme introduces us to a range of reasons why different people and professions want to know about genomes.
This film forms part of a collection featured in our free online course on whole genome sequencing.
