Summary Of Creaking The Code Of Life

Summary of Creaking The Code Of Life Creaking The Code Of Life is a documentary that correspondent by Robert Krulwich. This documentary is about the discoveries by scientists about the Human Genome project. The Human Genome Project was started in 1990, which scientists start to put three billion letters of human DNA in order. The difficulty was to get a list As, Ts ,Cs and Gs as soon as possible, so the process of making cure in terms of medicine could start. Scientist thought it is reasonable to wait 15 years to decode a human being which it was good considering their technology. This project was based on how DNA can effect on disease and health. Scientist J. Craig Venter, MIT’s Eric Lander, and the leader of this project Francis Collins
Try Sachs start at one small area on the DNA ladder when just one letter goes wrong. In this group of atoms of that letter there is a little mistake that can come down to just three atoms. But genes create proteins the error that we discussed creates a problem in this protein which it has to be dissolved the fat in the brain. But right now the protein is not working so instead fat is building up causes the brain to swell and it will eventually strangles and crushes critical brain cells. One bad letter in that baby’s DNA was the following result. Even, the baby must receive the bad gene from his or her parents. Therefore there is a Tay Sachs test to determine if this condition exists, the Lords family had no reason to think they would be at risk. And yet surpassingly, all the families , Charlie and Tim and Alison and Blyth were carriers of Tay Sachs. Sadly Hayden died a few months after his parents found that he had Tay Sachs. Another advantage of The Human Genome project is to understanding plants and animal genome to product better,stronger quality and have more disease resistant animals and plants. It also help to expand bio pesticide and vaccines vegetables, fruits, and foods products. But sometimes The Human Genome project, will provide disadvantages too. For example, among the human civilization, when these two systems interact with natural selection in which they lose
Craig Venter, MIT’s Eric Lander, and the leader of this project Francis Collins which started in 1990 offers a chance to determine early if we are at risk of any kind of disease such as breast cancer, alzheimer's disease for families like Lord and also for anyone else. It is possible that each of us carry these kind of genes so It is important to prevent for this kind of illnesses and The Human Genome project gives us this opportunity to have chance to stop it. The Human Genome project might have disadvantage too. It could result in lost of diversity of x pool in the human
