Genetic drift is a science podcast like no other. Join the duo of Anthony and Juliet as they take a deep dive into the world of genetic diseases and medical genetics. In this show, we will lead you through the biology of each disease including the molecular genetics that can determine the outcome of these hereditary conditions. We then discuss the medical history of the disease as well as what we know of it's origins from the genes themselves before discussing their future alongside common misconceptions and stigma surrounding each illness. This is a must try podcast to introduce you to the world of genetics and disease.

Customer Reviews
Fragile X
Great explanation on fragile x syndrome and carrier premutation. Thank you! Sweet couple covering genetic mutations in a convo format between a scientist and a layperson.
Interesting subject matter but pretty slow to get through
So I love the idea of this podcast. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible for me to listen to because they move through the information so slowly because they stop every 30 seconds to explain things. I understand that this is a podcast primarily aimed at non-scientists, but it’s somewhat annoying to have extremely basic concepts like gene expression or regulation or very basic anatomy terms or (even non scientific) vocabulary words explained. I think this would be a bit more engaging if you assumed that your listeners had a level of science understanding that most high school graduates would have.
Informative
With COVID happening right now this is a fascinating and informative podcast on the illnesses that are in this world
