The Ghost in Your Genes
Would you believe that your genes are shaped in part by your ancestors' life
experiences? This documentary looks at how epigenetics, the new genetic
discovery, is revealing the hidden influences upon genes that could affect
every aspect of our lives. Epigenetics adds a whole new layer to genes
beyond the DNA. It proposes a control system of switches that turn genes on
or off, and suggests that things people experience, like nutrition and
stress, can control these switches and cause inheritable effects in humans.
At the heart of this new field is a simple but contentious idea - that genes
have a memory. Featured in this documentary is Professor Wolf Reik, a
scientist at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, who has carried out
research with mice that shows that genes and environment are not mutually
exclusive but are inextricably intertwined, one affecting the other.
According to this program, epigenetics research is at the forefront of a
paradigm shift in scientific thinking. It will change the way the causes of
disease are viewed, as well as the importance of lifestyles and family
relationships. What people do no longer just affects themselves, but can
determine the health of their children and grandchildren in decades to come.
