Stuff worth knowing
Sixteen years ago we were promised cures for all diseases in ten years as a result of sequencing the human genome. Where did it all go wrong and where do we go now? Is it time to re-examine the “junk genome” to find answers? Dr. MacKenzie will attempt to unravel some of the mysteries of the human genome and how it affects health and disease.
