The Oakland Aves in 2001 said they had a different way of evaluating athletes, not RDI's and averages. And so I think genetics is a way that you could evaluate people with a new kind of stats. It could give you an edge one way or another. In this case, the edge would be to not get hurt, so you play more games and win-market.
Can you predict your future health using genetics? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore advances in genetic testing, polygenic risk scores, and the future of genetics with geneticist Dr. Stuart Kim.
