The Genome and You

IHSS-1150

The ability to sequence complete genomes has had a revolutionary impact on medicine, agriculture, our environment and the very idea of what it means to be "human". Genomic medicine will impact virtually everyone in the United States in the coming decades. As informed citizens, it is important that we have a working understanding of genomics and its implications for individuals and for society at large. These conversations are critical to ensure the ethical and accessible use of genomics and to allow us to make informed decisions on both personal and public-policy levels. This course will explore the science, ethics, and history of genetic research and genomics, using case studies to illustrate and personalize the issues at hand.
