Human Explain Comparison Genomes Understanding Treatment Illness Simple

Comparing human genomes aids understanding of diseases by identifying genetic patterns and how genes interact with the environment. Diseases rarely have simple causes, stemming from complex genetic and environmental interactions.

El estudio de genomas humanos puede ayudar a entender enfermedades al identificar patrones genéticos y comprender cómo los genes interactúan con el medio ambiente. Las enfermedades rara vez tienen causas simples, ya que son el resultado de complejas interacciones genéticas y ambientales.

Front Explain why the comparison of many human genomes may help the understanding and treatment of human illness and why "simple" answers very rarely occur.
Back Genomics & disease:
  • Can recognise genetic patterns in individuals with the same conditions
  • Our genes work with the environment to affect our phentoype & our likelihood of developing certain diseases
  • This would be better understood by carrying out large scale sequencing studies
