In the first of this 3 part series, we present an amazing TedTalk by Richard Resnick. He is a builder of genomic software and was involved in The Human Genome Project.
The takeaway from this talk is that:
1. Genetics is changing the field of medicine;
2. Testing is becoming more affordable;
3. How a person is treated for disease is changing.
Our next part in the series will be how to chose a genetic test – what can be done, what cannot be done – and how to understand the basics of results.
