Ethics in Research

23.7K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Genomics

35.6K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

30.4K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

4.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Human Genetics01:28

Human Genetics

2.0K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Area of Science:

  • Genomic Medicine
  • Bioethics
  • Public Health Genomics

Background:

  • The Generation Study is a large-scale initiative by Genomics England and the NHS.
  • It aims to evaluate whole genome sequencing (WGS) for newborn screening and genomic data research.
  • The study will sequence 100,000 newborn genomes in England.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the study's approach to embedding ethics from inception through implementation.
  • To present key decisions and approaches to complex ethical challenges.
  • To foster public trust and inform future policy and practice in genomic research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a model of 'ethical embeddedness' emphasizing transparency, trustworthiness, and responsiveness to uncertainty.
  • Drawing on multidisciplinary Ethics Working Group deliberations, public dialogue findings, and design research.
  • Addressing ethical challenges including consent, clinical service impact, and navigating uncertainty.

Main Results:

  • The study outlines a proactive ethical framework for large-scale genomic research.
  • It details strategies for managing ethical complexities in genomic screening.
  • The approach aims to balance research goals with operational realities and evolving science.

Conclusions:

  • Embedding ethics throughout the study design and delivery is crucial for large-scale genomic initiatives.
  • This approach can help navigate the ethical tensions between research and clinical practice.
  • Fostering public trust is paramount for the successful implementation of genomic technologies in healthcare.
