The EMBL Insight Lecture 2010 was the first in a series of annual lectures to be organised by the European Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences (ELLS). The lecture was entitled “Exploring genome sequences to learn about human diseases”.

Dr. Jan Korbel, group leader at the EMBL, spoke of the advances that have recently been made in DNA sequencing technology and human genome analysis, and the possible implications that these advances could have for disease research – particularly, cancer research – in the future.

Concepts covered

• The central dogma of Molecular Biology
• Variations in DNA
• DNA sequencing technology
• Genome maps
• Molecular biology of cancer
• Genome sequencing as cancer diagnostics tool
