Genetic Predisposition and Disease - Genetic variations account for 04% of the differences between individuals, influencing traits and disease susceptibility [3] - Genetics reveals two paths to disease predisposition: monogenic diseases caused by a single gene mutation and polygenic diseases influenced by hundreds or thousands of DNA variations combined with lifestyle factors [5][6] - Approximately 50% of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and depression, are attributable to genetic factors [6] - Polygenic risk scores can identify individuals with a two-to-threefold increased genetic risk for obesity, hypertension, or heart disease, enabling preventative measures [7] Genetic Technology and Prevention - Genetic guidance helps prevent diseases by enabling personalized prevention strategies based on individual genetic predispositions [10] - Epigenetics demonstrates that environmental factors, diet, stress, exercise, and the microbiome influence gene expression without altering the DNA sequence [12][13] - The completion of the human genome sequencing project cost approximately $3 billion and took over a decade; now, whole-genome DNA analysis from saliva costs around €600 and takes only a few days [15] - Genome editing technologies, like CRISPR, allow for correcting "typos" in the DNA, with applications in treating monogenic diseases such as sickle cell anemia [16] - Artificial intelligence is used to predict disease risks by learning from thousands or millions of genomes, enhancing precision medicine [16][17] Ethical Considerations and Future Implications - The convergence of genetics and technology raises ethical questions regarding access to genetic information, privacy protection, data management, and the right to know or not know [23] - Genetic information empowers individuals to personalize nutrition, treatment, and disease prevention, improving quality and duration of life [22] - Synthetic biology is advancing beyond understanding and correcting DNA to creating new genes, biological systems, and even artificial cells from scratch [17]

Hello everyone. The first time I touched a calculator was at the age of 16. My father, a first generation entrepreneur, taught me that if you have to really work through the world, you have to learn to figure things on your own.My life then became an entire canvas of how I looked at everything with respect to equations, mathematics and numbers. And what I'm going to walk you all through today is the fascinating world of biology that I will try and explain through numbers. We are swimming in an information a ...

How science and theology can help advance truth | Brenton DeBoef | TEDxURI
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-13 14:00
Main Argument - The speaker discusses the feeling of being "doubly lonely" when keeping separate aspects of one's identity, specifically faith and science [1][2][10][18] - The core message is that trust is essential for accepting truths, whether scientific or faith-based [8][17] - The speaker advocates for a personal approach in communicating science, especially to communities of faith, emphasizing respect and relationships over data and degrees [17][18] Supporting Evidence & Logic - The speaker uses the example of DNA's double helix structure, which was understood through data and equations before it could be directly observed, to illustrate belief in unseen scientific truths [3][4][5][6] - The genealogy of Jesus from the Bible is presented as an example of a faith-based truth accepted by millions, even if its accuracy cannot be verified [6][7] - The historical conflict between science and faith, exemplified by Galileo's experience, is mentioned to highlight the existing tensions [8] - The speaker shares a personal experience of creating a video explaining mRNA vaccines in a Christian context, demonstrating an attempt to bridge the gap between science and faith [11][12][13] Implications & Call to Action - The speaker suggests that skepticism towards science in communities of faith is understandable, given the reliance on trust in both domains [16][17] - The speaker encourages individuals who feel "doubly lonely" due to conflicting identities to recognize the value of their unique perspective [18]

[Musica] Un applauso per Giuseppe Neri. Per me oggi è un onore essere su questo palco e onestamente è proprio da questo palco che vorrei accompagnarvi lungo un viaggio tra luci e ombre alla scoperta di un mondo invisibile ma comunque molto presente. Immaginate di essere nel entrate in una clinica e qui trovate una coppia.Non è qui per curare suo figlio, bensì per sceglierlo. Altezza, colore degli occhi, colore dei capelli, quoziente intellettivo. Come siamo arrivati a questo punto.Beh, per rispondere a ques ...
