The genetics of ancient DNA and health: Episode 8
The eighth webinar in The genetics of… series. This unique and exciting webinar will allow participants to explore studies of ancient DNA and understand how it can inform us about the health of our species today. We have an unmissable chance to hear from specialists in the field blazing trails and harnessing key messages hidden within the genetics of our predecessors.
Since major technological advancements dramatically improved the ability to extract DNA from ancient biological samples, there has been no let-up. Releasing the molecular messages held within ancient genomes has significantly progressed our knowledge of the lives of our ancestors. Join us in this webinar to unpack the studies of ancient DNA and to ascertain how we can apply this knowledge to improve our health in the present day.
During this webinar you will:
- Explain how technological advancements in isolating ancient DNA have revealed information about the health of our ancestors
- Understand how ancient DNA is extracted, analysed and harnessed to give up its archaic secrets
- Acknowledge the utility of undertaking ancient DNA and archaeological studies in benefitting healthcare today
The genetics of… series has been developed following feedback from delegates attending the Genetics of COVID-19 webinars. Presented by the Medical Genetics section of the Royal Society of Medicine, this series of talks will focus on the role of genetics in different areas of health and well-being.
This activity has been supported by a grant from Roche Products Limited. Roche Products Limited has had no input into the arrangement or educational content of this activity.
