Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation
Okay kiddo, let me explain what critical assessment of genome interpretation means in a very simple way.
Imagine your body is a computer and your genes are the codes that tell your body what to do. Scientists have figured out how to read these codes, which is what we call genome interpretation.
Now, once scientists have read the codes, they need to make sure they understood them correctly. This is where critical assessment comes in. They need to ask questions like, "Did we get the right answer?", "Does this code really mean what we think it does?", "Do we need more information to make sure we're on the right track?"
Basically, critical assessment means double-checking to make sure all the information we have about our genes is correct. Scientists need to be sure they have the right answers before they can use this knowledge to help people who have genetic diseases or disorders.
Does that make sense, little one?
