Genomics, Personality and Behaviour

This video has been produced with Teachers TV as part of the Nowgen Schools Genomics Programme. It shows a group of the UK's leading experts in genetics, medics and bioethics discussing how genomic research may help in understanding personality and behaviour traits.

The understanding of genetic knowledge has changed dramatically over the past three decades with the ability to investigate a person's entire genetic sequence. The experts discuss whether an increased knowledge of genomes will help scientists to understand human personality and behaviour. What are the ethical and moral issues surrounding such genetic information.
