The US Has Fallen Far Behind in Genomics: Wojcicki

In 2000, the human genome was mapped by Francis Collins and Craig Venter, with high expectations for medical advancements. However, the adoption of genetic technology has been slow, primarily due to monetization challenges in preventive care. The UK and China have made significant strides in genetic research, with the UK Biobank and China's Beijing Genome Institute leading the way. The US lags behind, hindered by political and ethical debates. A global collaboration is needed to fully realize the potential of genetic information.

What are the implications of genetic information being more focused on prevention rather than treatment?

What concerns are raised about China's advancements in genetic research?
