Really fantastic lecture and honest-to-goodness science. Any insight or resources for what Andy refers to at 44:50?

+Rob S Thanks for your interest! You can perform a quick Google search for "genetic testing for athletic performance" and find dozens of companies that will analyze specific gene variations to attempt to determine your individual limits of performance. I say "attempts to" because there are many confounding variables at play when trying to determine performance ability by looking at a few genes (although these genes do seem rather important). Here is a short commentary on once such gene (ACTN3) in Nature: www.nature.com/scitable/forums/genetics-generation/case-study-in-genetic-testing-for-sports-107403644

Sorry about that... Check out our newer videos! We're still learning how to best record/edit these lecture videos, but we're getting better.
