0:00.0 | All right. We're back again for round two with Peter. Welcome to your own home for my podcast. Nice to be here. Thanks for having me. All right. So we're going to get into off the bat. Something interesting that I kind of wanted to ask last time and it just fell off my radar. But something up and coming you're excited about in like the medicine 3.0 world. |
0:24.0 | Like oftentimes we hear you have to say the same things over again on podcast and I'm sure it |
0:29.4 | gets very repetitive. |
0:30.5 | But I'm interested. |
0:32.2 | What are some things that we may not know about that isn't necessarily things you'd |
0:36.2 | recommend or things that are |
0:37.8 | implementable and practical application, but stuff that you see as super interesting to you |
0:43.0 | in the near or distant future. |
0:47.6 | I mean, there's something that stands out above all other things that really, really interests |

1:03.6 | one of the, um, one of the most important questions in biology, actually. And it really comes |
1:10.5 | down to epigenetics so I mean it |
1:15.9 | might be worth a minute of background just for the audience to kind of understand |
1:19.5 | the ins and outs of that so I think most people understand you know how the |
1:24.9 | genome works and how DNA works and how DNA is a template that is used vis-a-vis code to make something called RNA |
1:35.3 | RNA is then how that code is translated into the production of protein so |
1:40.3 | everything about our existence comes from this translation of DNA to RNA to protein. |
1:47.8 | In fact, that's referred to as the central dogma. |
1:52.6 | And to put some numbers to it, if you kind of took all of the base pairs of DNA that we have in our body, it's about |
2:02.5 | three billion base pairs. |
2:04.6 | So the base pairs are C-G-A-T. |
