To give us an idea of how much improvement has occurred over the past years, how has DNA sequencing changed since its inception and the use of Sanger sequencing?
DNA sequencing is the process of determining the sequence of nucleotides (A,T,G,C) in a piece of DNA.
Sanger sequencing is a method of DNA sequencing developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 197. It was the most widely used sequencing method for approximately 40 years. Later on, higher volume Sanger sequencing has been replaced by "Next-Gen" sequencing methods, especially for large-scale, automated genome analyses. However, for smaller-scale projects, and for validation of Next-Gen results Sanger method remains in wide use.
In Sanger sequencing, the target DNA is copied many times, making fragments of different lengths. Fluorescent “chain terminator” nucleotides mark the ends of the fragments and allow the sequence to be determined whereas in the Next-generation sequencing techniques are newer, and large-scale approaches are there that increase the speed and reduce the cost of DNA sequencing.

Jamba Juice has posted a cumulative loss over the past five years, which was as much as the net income generated in the same five-year period. How would you describe the financial health of Jamba Juice?
- Give examples in written format of how, during the past 10 years, Internet and Telecommunications technologies, e.g., mobile commerce (m-commerce), proliferation of web-based services, Interactive Voice Response systems (IVRs) have changed some of the services that you use.
1. How has China's position in the global political economy changed over the past thirty years? Does Chinese economic development present a threat to U.S national security? Why or why not?
female labor force participation (LFP) has increased greatly over the past 100 years. Much of this increased female LFP can be attributed to an increase in the real wage rate, but there were other changes in society (technological, social, legal, etc.) that contributed to the increased presence of females in the labor market. (a) List two factors (other than an increase in real wage rate) that contributed to the increase in female LFP. 1) 2) (b) Pick ONE of your...
Over the past 12 years epigenetics has been a new exciting field of research. Please explain what epigenetic inheritance is and how changes to your DNA (not mutations) in your lifetime can be passed to your children and grandchildren. Diet and lifestyle choices you make today can have a profound impact on gene expression in your future children and grandchildren. Use epigenetics to explain how and provide some examples of diet/lifestyle choices that can cause epigenetic changes.
Equities in the US have enjoyed a sustained bull market for over ten years. Over the past 10 years, the Information Technology sector has consistently outperformed other sectors in the SP500. Today, the Information Technology sector most likely has a much smaller weight in the SP500 index than it did ten years ago. One implication of this change in Information Technology’s sector weight is that if the sector falters in the near future, the SP500 will likely struggle to make...
