In this episode I discuss the presentations and the facility itself from the conference (check out upcoming conferences). The hot areas in genomic medicines mentioned at the symposium are explored such as prenatal and newborn genome sequences as well as ultra-rare genetic diseases. A quick news story on further findings of the breast cancer associated gene, BRCA2 is shared in honor of October being national breast cancer awareness month.

Major news story is the new research that Schizophrenia has been revealed to be 8 genetically distinct disorders. Background information on Gregor Mendel is shared. The genetic disorder of the week is Cystic Fibrosis which is explained on the show.

#3 Can Genetic Manipulations Slow The Aging Process? 9/15/14

Researchers may have found a gene that has the power to slow the aging process by targeting specific genes. A method to keep stem cells in their pluripotent state for longer was also discovered. Scientists have claim to idenitify the gene that causes Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy which is an incurable muscle-wasting disease. Feature genetists of the week are the duo James Watson and Francis Crick. Genetic disorder of the week is Down Syndrome.

#2 Don’t Forget Rosalind Franklin 9/8/14

A new inherited neuromuscular disorder has been discovered. Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA is explored, her role may be bigger than you think. A lesson of personalized medicine is taught covering the basics of the concept.

#1 Google Baseline

News stories are covered with the most major being the announcement of Google Baseline, a projected aimmed to understand the genetics behind a healthy person. The first International Genetic Genealogy Conference took place August 15-17. A mutated gene has been discovered that allows humans to survive at a high altitude.
