DVD Reviews of Ghost in Your Genes
DVD Review: Great new (to me) stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product because I am very interested in the sciences. I knew that scientists anticipated that after the Human Genome was fully sequenced, we could learn much more about genetic diseases and other important information germane to potentially advancing human survival. But they learned much more. The great thing about Discovery science is that once you uncover an anatomical fact about the human body, many more doors open. For example, I see my skin, under my skin is my vein, my veins contain blood pumped from the hear, the heart is comprised of four chambers, the heart is a muscle, a muscle is made of tissues, which are made of similar cells, cells, are comprised of organelles made of molecules or macromolecules, made of atoms, etc. With regard to genetics, after the uncovering of the seemingly endless sequence of As, Ts, G, and Cs we realized that this sequence isnt the only things that dictates how our bodies function, but also a phenomena (which is now being understood at an exponential rate) called epigenetics has its role as well. Epigenetics is the process of using products of biosynthesis to control which genes are turned on and off giving rise to different behaviors or phenotypes. While this is ultimately controlled by the DNA, we must understand the epigenome as well. The action is the epigenome is an unique emergent property of the genetic code. From the understanding that is already attained many beneficial consequences have emerged from assisting in cancer treatment to other understanding fat storage and production in mice. This is a captivating and educational video; it will without a doubt leave you thinking about the intense complexity of life and the importance of science.
