They will change your DNA.

Let's talk a bit about cancer because we always associate cancer with mutations.

How has our scientific understanding of how cancer changed as we've learned more about how it mutates?

After the break, how genetic mutations can actually be a good thing.

Stay with us.

And speaking of mutations not doing just harm, you write about how they actually can autocorrect some genetic disorders.

How does that work?

That is really, really interesting.

We've talked on this show before about DNA changing as we age.

Tell me how this mutation process plays a role in aging.

Interesting.

I know there's a huge anti-aging industry that is just itching to figure out the key to longevity and probably make a lot of money.

Is this science at a place where we can identify the mutations that are responsible for aging?

I mean, we all age, right?

But what about the mutations that might be responsible for aging?

Right, right.

You know, I remember when the first human genome was sequenced in 2000.

It ushered in a revolution in biology.

But there was another technologic advance more recently called single cell sequencing.

Please explain what that is and how did that shape our understanding of cell mutations?
