Secrets, disease and beauty are all written in the human genome, the complete set of genetic instructions needed to build a human being. Now, as scientist and entrepreneur Riccardo Sabatini shows us, we have the power to read this complex code, predicting things like height, eye color, age and even facial structure -- all from a vial of blood. And soon, Sabatini says, our new understanding of the genome will allow us to personalize treatments for diseases like cancer. We have the power to change life as we know it. How will we use it?

How to read the genome and build a human being

Exploring the code of life, the human genome encapsulates secrets, predicting traits like height and eye color from a vial of blood.

Machine learning unlocks the genome's mysteries, heralding a new era of personalized medicine, targeting diseases like cancer.

The quest to crack the genetic code emphasizes humanity's shared identity, challenging perceptions of individual uniqueness.
