2010 National DNA Day Online Chatroom Transcript

This is just one question from an archive of the National DNA Day Moderated Chat held in April 2010. The NHGRI Director and many genomics experts from across NHGRI took questions from students, teachers and the general public on topics ranging from basic genomic research, to the genetic basis of disease, to ethical questions about genetic privacy.

How far do you think genetic science will go? do you believe it will reach to lengths we thought were impossible?
     Sarah Harding, M.P.H: I am a Community Outreach Analyst at the NHGRI. My programs involve outreach to diverse communities, and exploring how genetics and genomics can best be communicated to the public. I think genetic science is going to continue to unveil amazing things about organisms all over the world. We have already discovered things that scientists 100 years ago could not have predicted...who knows what lies in store for us in the future!
