Why are all people different? Where do they get their talents? Why do some people age so well, and others, unfortunately, not so well? Why does life have a biological limit and how can we prevent illnesses?

Genomics is a science in continuous evolution that also raises certain ethical questions and doubts. "The Human Genome” therefore promises to be a real journey through the new challenges offered by genomics, focussing on the opportunities and risks involved in applying the new breakthroughs in particularly sensitive areas, such as health.

The tour involves four main subject areas: complete sequencing of the human genome; the current state of knowledge of its elements and features; the genetic mutations determining differences between individuals and other changes that influence our phenotype; ground-breaking research techniques in the area of human health.
