How to interpret the human genome | Alisha Holloway | TEDxClaremontColleges

Cells have been interpreting genomes for billions of years. But how do scientists do it, and what do they do with that information? Alisha Holloway’s talk will focus on interpreting and decoding our genomes to understand congenital heart disease.
Dr. Alisha Holloway is the Director of the Gladstone Institutes’ Bioinformatics Core in San Francisco, CA. She is a leader in the field of bioinformatics, which she uses alongside genomic approaches to study the evolution of heart development. She also serves as the Bioinformatics Leader of the Bench to Bassinet consortium, which develops and evaluates tools for large-scale DNA-sequence analysis.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Dad lived for years feeling guilty he passed on a bad gene. Then the couple learns they both passed bad genes. I would love to hear the family's perspective of this journey.

[@preciousayawei4695]

This is brilliant. Looking forward to an update on this live project.

She's brilliant

Best explanation on human genome

Thank you so much

[@bhavymeghwal]

Very helpful 👍

hi this vid is really edumacating and rad

Great👏🏻👏🏻😲

genomic science, thats the future!

[@jinkuanmoo4483]

just wondering do we have dna in every single cell of our body? because based on my online research, cells like red blood cell and blood platelets do not have dna.

[@isabelhuang_1]

I know that red blood cells originally have a nucleus, but then lose it. Not sure about platelets

[@rapist_Muhammad]

Platelets have mitochondrial DNA

[@XantinwoX]

Yes

Does the healthy child have anything of bad gens that could be inherit ?

[@Abuda7amHD]

Just wanna say that what she means by "typo's" is mutations.

That fourth child is lucky … or the three children were really unlucky

Yes the 4 the child in my aunts family is well above in many aspects above average than his siblings

who is here is because of the current trend the can map genomes faster and cheaper?

Can you find the typo for her crooked index finger?

[@grassCrow]

Maybe everyone else has a typo

[@gamingpig4997]

@@grassCrow Well, that's a nice perspective to have

[@amelliamendel2227]

Those aren't typos or bad copies they are mutations!

[@annaliezze3713]

just a way to explain it to someone who has only a little knowledge of biology

[@evefam4984]

Unless you got reproducing or interbreeding issues. Everyone in this bubble planet shared the same genome . Different blood types but sane race .

Stop trying to play GOD

[@lasagna4layf132]

Stop trying to impose your beliefs on others. We're all free to have our own religions, but if you're going to block progress because of them, please don't. You should adopt the "my religion says no so I can't do that" instead of "my religion says no so you can't do that." Playing God has helped a lot of people, you know. Try to tell that to someone who got their genes fixed so that they don't have to suffer from Sickle Cell Anemia or Cystic Fibrosis. It's pretty easy for you to say that because you're most likely privileged enough that you can stop people from having easier lives. Again, stop imposing your beliefs on others. You're free to believe in and practice them, but don't force it onto others.
