Document Summary
Information about tutorial group will be posted at the end of the week on portal. 18 genetics hugely relevant to the real world. Resistance to hiv, malaria have a genetic component. Different human traits mapped onto chromosomes variation at each site. 22 mutations at each chromosomes that effect chances of getting specific diseases. Variation at dna level influence variation in these traits. Much promise for these goals: individuals vary in drug response. 24 assess risk, advise test, interpret results, etc. 28 bigger and better crops to improve food supply. 30 inheritable component, dna, encodes proteins, which affect traits. 31 cannot read genome to determine personality. 33 arrows indicate in human chromosomes regions where genes identified individual"s chance of getting type 2 diabetes. 34- diet and lifestyle thus diabetes on the rise environmental effects. Mutations increase by a bit, while environmental effects have massive impact, the major impact. 36 sliding scale from genetic to environmental effects.
