PROGRESS REPORT – Year 3 COMPUTATIONAL AND GENOME BIOLOGY INITIATIVE August 2‚ 2007 1. What was accomplished in 2006-2007? Several goals were articulated in the previous report. A. New Graduate Students in MCB Program. We continued attracting and elevating the profile of graduate students in computational and genome biology in the MCB Graduate Program. Eight new Ph.D. students entered the MCB Graduate Program. Two new students‚ William Thomas and Sam Fox‚ were provided CGBI-funded

negative attitude of that person towards the project. He either thinks so‚ or he believes that this work is boring. In both the cases there could be numerous reasons for developing those atti tudes. It’s believed that there are three categories of human attitude/nature. The first category comprises those who have ’’You’re right‚ I’m wrong’’ attitude‚ the second category has this ’’I’m right‚ you’re wrong’’ attitude‚ and the third sect believes in ’’You’re right‚ so am I’’ attitude. Positive attitude

Reacting to the speaker’s appearance & mannerism - Try not to focus on the looks of the speaker. We have a tendency of judging people by their look & assume some ideas from their appearance. Avoid pre-judgment. 2.Failing to control distractions - Human beings are always distracted. They can not stick to a single thing for more than a moment. You should control your mind at least for the time when you are listening to some other people. 3.Listening to evaluate - Most of the time people listen to

Kathryn Holladay English Composition I Mrs. Robyn Weaver 12/01/2010 Human Genetic Engineering The ability to genetically engineer and modify our children before birth is now a reality. Genetic Modification is a new science that has created significant controversy for the human race. If genetic modification becomes a common practice without any legal restrictions‚ our world as we know it would completely change. With this unfathomable practice‚ our world is now open to an array of opportunities

done regarding whether GMF should be used for our daily food products. Although scientists have failed to show any negative affects within humans‚ when they experimented on rats‚ the results were that the rats ended up with organ damage‚ thickening of small intestines and poor brain development. Still‚ no death or harmful effect have been shown within humans‚ thus GMF is still continued. affects towards our environment. For example‚ unintended organisms are killed when they are not meant to be harmed

therefore‚ it is crucial to continue research in this field. Today’s research in genetic engineering is bringing about new methods for curing and treating major medical illnesses. The Human Genome Project has allowed geneticists to map the genes of human beings. This project is far from complete‚ as the DNA sequence of humans is extremely long‚ yet it will eventually show geneticists which genes are responsible for certain inherited diseases. Identified genes could be repaired‚ resulting in the irradiation

the new atheists - that science leads away from God.- leads to atheism. Myth; significant natural science project of this generation is the human genome project. First director of it was Jim Watson- discovered the double helix structure of DNA he was an atheist. 2d director - Francis Collins hes a Christian who was part of the discovering of the human genome project. Top scientist same project‚ same techniques of analysis‚ so what divides them is their world view. Conflict is not between science

make a new human genome‚ making big changes to DNA that would change science and medicine. These changes could alter the life of humans in amazing ways. It could also spell disaster for humans as well. Altering DNA to create a new type of alien like human is revolutionary and scary. What will be the purpose of these alien humans? Will they be enslaved once matured‚ since they are not real humans? Scientists may have good intentions for this project. However‚ making a new group of humans brings up

1. The raw fundamental data on the human genome cannot be patented but the genes and gene-based discoveries can. 2. The map of the human genome produced by Collins and his co-workers is available from the internet for free all over the world. In other words‚ the map of the human genome created by the HGP is a public good. 3. Celera genomics has no patent over the human genome. However‚ celera does have proprietary rights over its version of that genome. It is private good. Quiz 2 1.
