If every Trini did an @FzeroGenomics genetic ancestry test, it would be the beginning of the end of tribal politics. We can #changeconversations and create the society we propaganda about, with concerted re-education and re-alignment of our value systems. #RacismIsNotGenetic
The uwi_staugustine is seeking assistance from Nationals of Trinidad & Tobago! Do participate and share this short survey in support of genetic testing and the growing biotechnology industry in T&T!

David Bentley is the chief scientist at @illumina, where he develops new DNA sequencing technologies for faster and more accurate sequencing of complex genomes. In this week’s #HGPCountdown, watch him discuss working on the first phase of the International HapMap Project.
The desire to learn where we all came from is a strong one. But what do genetic ancestry tests really tell us about ourselves -- and how do they shape our identity? We will address these questions and more at our live virtual panel on May 13!
@kstsosie@NativeBio@guthdx @YrachetaJM We wish you all the success in your pursuit of your goal. We too share similar aspirations to develop a profound Caribbean biobank!
"For Us, By Us, But Not All of Us"- my talk title on the importance of genomic #data sovereignty for #Indigenous people and a possible way for tribes to exercise jurisdiction over data as an inequitable way forward in health. #TAGC20@NativeBio
Our study is now published in @MolBioEvol Congrats to my coauthors & thx to all who commented/shared our work in the past few months, especially the ppl of 🇵🇷 I am honored and thankful for your support. GRACIAS! 🙏✊#aDNA#PuertoRico#LatinAmericanGenomics https://t.co/Nl2YujlePc
YES! Genetic Ancestry tests are available here in the Caribbean, right here in T&T, and if you’re in St Lucia, you can visit oceandrive_slu for your #Fzero kit, and now, we have limited stock in London as well!… https://t.co/JqIEBD7po3
#FBF 20 years ago at the Medals of Science and Technology ceremony, President Clinton and Prime Minister Tony Blair announced they had agreed on a statement of principle to ensure that the discoveries found from the Human Genome Project would be used to advance human health.
I wrote about the new coronavirus itself--where it came from, why it's behaving in the way it's behaving, how it infects and kills, and what the summer might bring. It's early days, of course, but this serves as a rough preliminary portrait of SARS-CoV-2. https://t.co/GL4wrlvN0r
When exposed to DNA damaging chemicals, some zebrafish get a gene mutation called the Spock, which affects their hearing and gives them pointy ears -- similar to the ones of the first officer of the USS Enterprise in #StarTrek! We find this to be most logical.🖖 #geneoftheweek
Where do you start your journey of self-discovery? Let’s help you: https://t.co/PR0YZ5rhMe, the Caribbean’s first over the counter #DNAtest that puts the control in your hands. No labs, no blood samples, no hassle. Available at Ultimate Store in Grand Bazaar. #GeneticAncestry
There will always be obstacles, but I can promise you one thing—you will never run out of energy and drive, no matter the size of the obstacle, when you are living your PURPOSE.

How big is the human genome? We barely fit 1/1000 of the human genome sequence typed out on a hallway wall near my office @genome_gov! Take a look at the video and see what I mean...
