- why are the human genome project and ENCODE important and how do they relate to the future of medicine?arrow_forwardBioinformatics is the science of using computational methods (specialized software) to decipher the biological meaning of information contained within an organismal system. If you have to identify a gene, for example from the fruit fly, that is of interest to you, and you would like to know whether the human genome contains a homolog (related gene) of the fruit fly gene, one tool you could use is a program called Group of answer choices RefSeq (species reference sequence) Excel BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) GenBankarrow_forwardHow to Develop new sequencing technologies, such as highthroughputcomputer-automated sequencers, to facilitategenome analysis ?arrow_forward
- How is gene editing applied in our society? a. to customize a living organism’s genetic sequence by making very specific changes to its DNA b. being used for the genetic modification of crop plants c. use for manipulating the DNA of livestock and of laboratory model organisms d. all of the abovearrow_forwardIf you will have the technology to create a Genetic Modified Organism, What would it be and why?arrow_forwardA large public and private effort went into sequencing the human genome. What did this project hope to accomplish; how did emerging technology assist the project (ie recombinant DNA, super-computing, automated sequencing), was it successful and what is the usefulness of what was learned in this massive effort?arrow_forward
- If you were to sequence a human genome today, how would the sequencing differ from that done during the Human Genome Project? Choose only the best answer. You would still use Sanger sequencing. You would still assemble the sequencing reads into a genome using bioinformatics. You still need to clone the DNA fragments prior to sequencing them. All three of the other statements are true.arrow_forwardClearly, all humans have variations in their DNA sequences. How is it possible to sequence the human genome if every individual is unique? How was the diversity of the human genome addressed?arrow_forwardThere are many applications of cloning technology. List the applications that you think are most acceptable and those that are least acceptable. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
