The Runaway Genome Project

The Runaway Genome Project is a research initiative that studies how genes can change or move unexpectedly within an organism's DNA. This project aims to better understand genetic mutations or disruptions that can lead to diseases or developmental issues. By tracking these "runaway" genetic elements, scientists hope to uncover the underlying causes of certain health conditions and develop targeted treatments. It involves advanced genetic sequencing and analysis to identify and analyze these genetic changes, ultimately improving our knowledge of human genetics and disease mechanisms in a clear, systematic way.
