Summary Introduction

To determine: How the “Human Genome Project” resulted in the development of a more rapid and less expensive DNA-sequencing technology.

Introduction: Human Genome Project was a collaborative international effort to determine the sequence of all the bases that make up human beings and also to locate the position of each gene on the chromosomes.

Explanation of Solution

The main goal of the Human Genome Project was to sequence the entire nucleotide sequence of each chromosome. Determining the sequence of 3 billion base pairs was a challenging task. The process of determining the sequence of nucleotide bases in a piece of DNA is called DNA sequencing. The sequencing technology that could sequence them at a faster rate was required. This led to the development of less expensive and faster DNA-sequencing technology.

Conclusion

The need to sequence the entire genome economically and at a faster rate led to the development of high throughput sequencing, a sequencing method that generates a large amount of data in a very short period of time.

You have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.
