Especially in this age of 32nd sound-bites, an understanding of chromosomes and their behavior can seem just beyond our grasp. We
are committed to increasing genetic literacy among adults throughout Southeast. We have facilitated "Genetics and Chromosomes 101",
a session designed to introduce Chromosomes, DNA and genes, to provide a background for
chromosomal trisomy and to explore the
sequencing of the human genome and the role of genes in health and disease. This one-hour discussion is perfect for a lunch-and-learn
or evening gathering for civic or faith-based organizations, libraries, and other adult gatherings. We also work with Down syndrome
support and advocacy groups, both locally and nationally, serving as speakers, teachers and scientific advisors.
