Genome Determinism
Helping the Best Reach Their Biological Potential
Project Director: Dr. Niccol A. Gaylin
The next great wave in the future of human evolution will include the ability of man to preselect for his progeny those genetic attributes most desirable and most efficient for the success of the species. The Sanger Initiative is in the forefront of efforts to ensure the drastic reduction of inefficient genetic models by 2050, and to create scientific, political and social systems which will build upon the latest research to improve quality of life for not merely the human species, but the life community which inhabits our planet.
The human genome contains only thirty-thousand genes, fifty percent of which are proviral sequences and transposable elements. If we ignore reductant examples of reverse transcriptase, we end up with only about fourteen-thousand genes to track in order to map an individual human being with utterly precision. While there are untold trillions of nucleotide combinations, fourteen-thousand genetic elements is a very manageable number. As computer hardware becomes more advanced, we will have the resources we need for widespread tracking of entire populations. This will pave the way for specific medical treatments such as human germline gene therapy, and projects relating to selective progenic advancement. We can then begin preparations for the next generation of genetic technology, which can introduce active manipulation in the pursuit of physical and neurological perfection.
