The field of biology changed forever following the discovery of the structure of DNA in the 1950s, and now we live in an age of genomics. We can analyse our own DNA in great detail, learn about our past, where our ancestors came from, but also perhaps our future – the diseases our individual genetic make-up makes us susceptible to. There are huge questions over the ownership and use of our genetic data. Claudia Hammond hosts a discussion from The Francis Crick Institute on the ethics, promise and pitfalls of genomic research.
