You can find out about new meetings and excursions with Konstantin Severinov on the website - https://bit.ly/3WGboER Is there a genetic memory of ancestors? Is it possible to determine talent for music and dancing by DNA analysis? Is there a schizophrenia gene? How do scientists understand what ethnic group a person belongs to? Will we ever be able to give birth to exclusively healthy children? We talked about this with molecular biologist Konstantin Severinov. Konstantin Severinov is a world-class scientist and a well-known popularizer of science. Professor at Rutgers University (New Jersey, USA), head of laboratories at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" and the Institute of Gene Biology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. #kozhukhovaclub #konstantinseverinov #interview #genetics 00:39 - Is there a genetic memory of ancestors? 03:57 - Epigenetic changes: can we observe them when decoding the genome? 06:29 – Is there a gene responsible for complex behavior? That is, a tendency or talent for music, dancing, drawing, and so on? 07:39 – Is there a gene for schizophrenia? 08:31 – Can genetic tests determine a person’s ability to do a certain type of activity? 08:31 – Can genetic tests determine a person’s ethnic group? 18:08 – How to “extend life”?
