Sequencing the Genome: From Genotype to Phenotype and Extras in Between

Explore the fascinating world of genomics in this 31-minute webinar presented by Dr. Rasika Mathias, Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and Director of Genomics for the GeneSTAR Research Program. Delve into the complex relationship between genotype and phenotype, with a special focus on telomere length (TL) as a key indicator of aging and its implications for various diseases. Learn about the successes and limitations of current epidemiological and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in understanding telomere biology and genetics. Discover the critical need for increased representation of minority and admixed populations in genomic research to address health disparities related to aging, inflammation, and cellular senescence. Gain valuable insights into the latest advancements in sequencing technology and their potential impact on personalized medicine and health outcomes.
