We are on the cusp of a revolution in genetics. The cost of sequencing a genome has tumbled, DNA testing has become routine and new technologies such as CRISPR are allowing us to edit the code of life like never before. But the genetics revolution is only just getting started.\xa0 \xa0\xa0 Join us for this one-day masterclass where our expert speakers will guide you through the rapidly evolving field of genetics.\xa0 |

| Identifying Ancient Bodies |
Marina Silva, Postdoctoral Fellow, The Francis Crick Institute \xa0 How can the remnants of ancient bodies help us decode the mysteries of our past? How are we able to extract and decode ancient DNA in fossilised bone fragments and what are the cutting-edge techniques employed at the intersection of genomics, archaeology, and anthropology that uncover the untold stories of individuals who lived thousands of years ago? |

| Epigenetics: why DNA is not your destiny\xa0 |
Nessa Carey,Biologist, Visiting Professor, Imperial College London\xa0 \xa0 How can two genetically identical “things” be so different from one another? Why aren't identical twins indistinguishable? Why are the cells in our skin and kidneys so different even though they use the same DNA code?\xa0 |
|
|
| The Human Cell Atlas: from cell types to tissues\xa0\xa0 |
Kerstin Meyer,Principal Staff Scientist, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute\xa0 \xa0 How can single cell RNA sequencing and computational tools like machine learning analyze data, engineer "designer cells" and develop new approaches to treat disease in the future?\xa0 |
|
|
| Weeds: nature’s ultimate survivors\xa0\xa0 |
Dana MacGregor,Plant Molecular Geneticist, Rothamsted Research\xa0 \xa0 Why is understanding the genetic and molecular aspects of agricultural weeds gained in the lab, crucial for developing effective and innovative solutions for tomorrow’s agriculture?\xa0 |
