Why genetic variation is a fundamental part of being human
In short: In this session from The Royal Institution, genetics expert Alison Woollard addresses audience inquiries regarding the nature of mutation and the complexities of epigenetics.
Following her 2013 Christmas Lectures, 'Life Fantastic', University of Oxford lecturer Alison Woollard discusses the implications of genetic science. She explores how mutations shape life and answers questions about the mechanisms of epigenetics.
Woollard's own research focuses on how genes control development in the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans.
