It's as if the price of a Ferrari went from $350,000 to a mere $0.40. Through breakthroughs by Dr. Ashley's team at Stanford, along with other impressive groups around the world, analysing the human genome has decreased from an almost impossible, multi-billion dollar cost to one test for under $1,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time, due to this affordable capability, we have within our grasp the ability to predict our genetic future, to diagnose and prevent disease before it begins, and to decode what it really means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Genome Odyssey\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Ashley details the medicine behind genome sequencing with clarity and accessibility. He shares compelling stories of the brave patients who were the first to undergo this analysis for their own benefit, as well as that of humankind. And then he traces the path from genome data to scientific knowledge to real medical action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe describes how he led the team that was the first to analyse and interpret a complete human genome, how they broke genome speed records to diagnose and treat a newborn baby girl whose heart stopped five times on the first day of her young life, and how they found a boy with tumours growing inside his heart and traced the cause to a missing piece of his genome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese stories are the waymarkers for a journey through the science behind genome discoveries and genetic diseases. Dr. Ashley envisions a future where genome sequencing is available for all, where medicine can be tailored to treat specific diseases at the DNA level, and where our medical system as we know it has been completely revolutionised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244573569260,"sku":"9781250234995","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250234995-the-genome-odyssey-1.jpg?v=1788002646"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/euan-angus-ashley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
