Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident. Well, sometimes it was. It was also the result of hard work, teamwork, and competition. And incredibly surprising moments. Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

Episode 8: What makes us different and the same: Genetic Variation
Manage episode 268033225 series 2763643
Content provided by Sabah Kadri and Arshi Arora, Sabah Kadri, and Arshi Arora.

Our DNA makes us unique. It also makes us similar to each other - sometimes more and sometimes less. How? Dr. Sabah Kadri and Arshi Arora explore similarities and differences in our DNA. And in the process, they discuss milestone genomics projects in human beings such as dbSNP, the HapMap project and Genome Wide Association Studies. They look at studies all the way from one that looks at genetic factors involved in Covid-19 to one that investigates the genetics of curly hair. This one is a fun ride.
