In the not too distant future, our ability to measure very tiny things will change the way we fight diseases ranging from cancer to the common cold. In the Future of Everything radio show, Stanford bioengineering Professor Russ Altman discusses how we will arrive at that point with Marc Salit, an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Bioengineering, who leads the Genome-Scale Measurements Group at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Marc Salit: What is the future of genome measurement?

What is a human genome?  Well it’s the three billion letters of our DNA.  But how is it measured?  How do we know when we have it accurately represented?These are questions that will have to be answered as precision medicine takes hold; for we must have defined standards that will be the basis for regulatory policy, commerce, and better research.  These are also the questions that are foremost on the mind of today’s guest.
