From Genomic Data to Genomic Knowledge

Explore the fascinating journey from genomic data to genomic knowledge in this 17-minute TEDx talk. Delve into the relationship between data, information, knowledge, and wisdom through the lens of genomics, a comprehensive field studying complete DNA sets. Trace the historical landmarks of genomics, from the 1953 discovery of DNA's double helix structure to the 2022 completion of the first gap-free human genome sequence. Examine the current challenges in genomics, including balancing research and treatment, and addressing the need to study the full spectrum of human genomic diversity, particularly in Africa. Gain insights from Sandy Starr, Deputy Director of the Progress Educational Trust, as he shares his expertise on infertility, genetic conditions, and stem cell research governance.
