Welcome to Genome Context
About Genome Context
"The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress."
– Isaac Asimov
Since October 2018, Genome Context has been at the forefront of exploring the science, technology, and societal implications of genetic engineering. We believe in curating knowledge, diving deep into sources, and thoroughly evaluating context. Here, you won’t find press releases—only well-researched, thought-provoking insights.
A Unique Niche in Science Communication
Genome Context bridges the gap between traditional science communication projects and technology-focused platforms. Our content dives into:
- CRISPR: Both its foundational science and cutting-edge applications.
- Human Genomes: Stories that reveal the intricate details of our genetic makeup.
- Key Genomes for Humanity: Exploring their potential and impact on society.
While we’re not your typical science communication site, we assume a baseline understanding of genetics. Instead of covering the basics (like "What is CRISPR?"), we guide readers through the rapidly evolving landscape of genetic engineering.
For foundational knowledge, we recommend excellent resources like Genome.gov or YourGenome.org. At Genome Context, we aim to provide the next level of understanding—bringing you closer to the forefront of genetic innovation.
Our Vision
The future of genetic engineering will be transformative—sometimes exhilarating, often challenging, and always impactful. We invite you to fasten your seatbelt as we navigate this evolving rollercoaster that will inevitably shape humanity’s future.
