Genomes - Phenotypes 
-a machine that translates a Genome in Phenotype 
-Common traits
-BMI , predict height
-Predict, skin color and eye color 
- You can Predict a face that is almost the same
- You tell tell the height, weight, skin color through blood, not always accurate 
-  Genome of a human 262,000 pages of DNA code
- Interesting how you can tell what a human will look like from blood and how a few missing letters in the DNA code can make you have a disease

I have learnt in this video that the numbers of atoms that you use to make a baby is enough to fill the titanic x2000 times, and if you where to miss 2 letters out of 3 billion you will have a disease called cystic fibrosis. I find these fact about the genetic code very interesting.]]> 2017-05-25 08:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/varq9jow0yq8/wish/173779362 https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/varq9jow0yq8/wish/173779525 https://www.ted.com/talks/riccardo_sabatini_how_to_read_the_genome_and_build_a_human_being?language=en
Parents are like 3d printers, you need information and energy (food). The most information that exists is used inside pregnant women. While the DNA is simple with for letters you need 3 billion letters. Missing two letters of DNA and you could have cystic fibrosis. Peter Diamandis and Craig Venter made the company Human Longevity to learn everything they could out of printed DNA to make personalized medicine a real thing. Through your life your DNA gets shorter, looses pieces and gets insertions, if the signals are read we can make a model. Machines help learn how our DNA works, how our body works, how we age, how cancer grows and drugs work on our body.

(b) the Chromosomes have an 'interface' that uses chemical signals, to tell the cell when it is ready to be split. This is amazing how advanced the body is, and how it replicates itself.]]> 2017-05-25 09:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/varq9jow0yq8/wish/173785691 211772 https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/varq9jow0yq8/wish/173797751 https://www.ted.com/playlists/357/how_does_dna_work
- The sequence of the letters A,T,C and G, code for genes like eye colour, hair colour, height, skin colour etc.
- The code can change with age (i.e. get bigger or smaller)
- with understanding these codes, we can predict height, eye colour, hair colour, skin colour, BMI etc.
- production of genes is sort of like a 3d printer. (it takes information, materials, and energy, to create something).
- if just a few letters, out of many, are out of place, it can result in mutations and diseases.

I learnt a lot from this talk and found it really interesting. It has helped me to understand more on the topic of Genomes.

Inside our DNA is countless amounts of completely unknown sequences and genes that nobody knows what they do. They could have many possibilities like a cure for cancer or new a new form of life and yeah. If you ask me it seems pretty cool and hopefully we will find out what they do in the future.]]> 2017-05-25 11:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rossvanvuuren/varq9jow0yq8/wish/173797996
