If we ever get a chance to refactor the #humangenome ,I vote for putting all of the genes on the top strand. #genomics #bioinformatics and renaming it the #crick strand

"Work has begun on a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life from scratch, in what is believed to be a world first.
[...]
[T]he Wellcome Trust, has given an initial £10m to start the project and says it has the potential to do more good than harm by accelerating treatments for many incurable diseases."

Synthetic Human Genome Project gets go ahead

Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

Biological reality: What genetics has taught us about race ~ Adam Rutherford, BBC

"[Human Genome Project] provided definitive evidence that racial groupings have no biological basis. In fact, there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them. Race, it showed, is a social construct."

'Biological reality': What genetics has taught us about race

As US President Donald Trump takes aim at the Smithsonian Institution for "anti-American ideology", Adam Rutherford examines what the science of genetics has taught us about race.

Ancient viral DNA in the human genome protects against neurodegenerative diseases

Specific ancient viral DNA sequences in the human genome are linked to genetic risk for multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, suggesting these elements may influence neurodegenerative disease development through changes in gene expression.

#AI #GenerativeAI #AIRegulation #HumanGenome #HGP: "Today with generative AI, we are face similar unknowns and anxieties. We have reached a level of scientific breakthrough that points to immense promise—and risk should it fall into the wrong hands. Through the Human Genome Project, humanity chose to rally a multi-disciplinary set of global stakeholders to co-develop the technology and share it out for the betterment of society, and that paid off significantly in scientific and economic ways—we should follow this instinct again.

The HGP provides a playbook for developing successful co-governance mechanisms and public policy that fosters cooperation from governments; productive innovation across industries; and investments in ethical, legal, and social safeguards. At a moment when governments are trying varying approaches to AI without much ability to get concrete and consistent governing rules in place, the HGP points to specific steps to take."
