DNA sequencing and personalised medicine

Question 1

New molecular defects: explain how modern DNA sequencing technology is being used to determine molecular basis of monogenic diseases

Answer 1

1. PCR for diagnosis of genetic disease eg, for CF
2. Preimplantation diagnosis for IVF embryos (PCR specific genes)
3. Mitochondrial transfer (3 parent babies)

Question 2

Next generation sequencing: explain the principles of next generation sequences, and how it differs from Sanger sequencing

Answer 2

Question 3

Personalised/precision medicine: list examples of how advances in genomic medicine may lead to personalised/precision medicine, including the treatment of cancer

Answer 3

Future: genetic editing

To treat monogenic diseases

In all honesty this is the lecture given by this german lady and even though I re-watched it I still have no clue of what she was saying
