In this behind-the-scenes (BTS) episode we speak with Kevin McKernan of Medicinal Genomics. Kevin is an expert in genomics and for the past decade has focused his work on understanding the Cannabis genome while also providing tools and resources to laboratories to assist in genetic testing for things like plant sex, genetic lineage, and microbiological contamination. Our conversation covered many topics including the various ways that DNA can be analyzed, how the genes that govern cannabinoid production work, why the 0.3% THC limit for hemp may not be supported by genetic science, genes in the Cannabis plant responsible for pathogen resistance, ethics around genetically modifying organisms, fact versus fiction regarding the concept of epigenetics, and much more!
