\u201cWhere Science Meets Fun\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s the motto of Genome Adventures, an innovative Wellcome Trustfunded community engagement initiative of the Collaborative African Genomics Network (CAfGEN), a member of the Human Heredity and Health in Africa – H3Africa Consortium, coordinated by the Botswana-Baylor Children\u2019s Clinical Centre of Excellence (COE). Genome Adventures aims to help the general public in Botswana and throughout the African continent to better understand genomics and biomedical research.<\/p>\n
According to Botswana-Baylor COE Senior Project Coordinator Ed Pettitt, \u201cA \u2018genome\u2019 is a human\u2019s entire genetic code – a library of instructions – which determines different aspects of our development and heredity.\u201d Pettitt explains that genomics is a new field of research in Botswana, giving scientists an opportunity to find solutions to human health problems through studying human heredity and genetic traits.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read Full Article Here” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”info” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:%2Fh3africa.old%2Fimages%2FNews%2FGenome%2520Adventures%2520Press%2520Release%2520v1.pdf||target:%20_blank|”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
