Biology is intimately linked to rare diseases (EPOF), because it allows to know that behind such a disease there is a cause and this has to do with how we are as a species. Here it will be valid to explain what genetic diagnosis is and what its importance is. It all started with what we call the molecular biology revolution and the Human Genome project. The genome is like a book, but not just any one. We can make the analogy with cooking recipes…
Revisiting the Conference That Shaped Genetic Engineering
In early 1975, a group of biologists from around the world gathered at Asilomar, a conference center in Pacific Grove, California. The purpose of the conference, The New York Times reported afterwards, was “to balance the potential hazards and benefits of the new techniques for manipulating genes.” The genetic engineering described in reports about the event has now become widespread; it’s difficult to imagine the scientific and medical world of…
