Discuss the relationship between the development of technology, the generation of new theories and the advancement of science-specifically- microbiology. You should a use an historical perspective from van Leewoenhoek to CRISPR. Include new theories, methods, protocols and procedures.

What ratoe of NADPH to NADP+ is required to maintain [GSH]=10mM and [GSSH]= 1 mM?

Any molecular project, whether it be genetic engineering, phylogenetics, population genetics, disease investigation, or drug design almost always starts with the same basic requirement, needing to isolate a piece of DNA or RNA to start with. After this, one needs to understand amplification and sequencing using the process of PCR. Given its foundational importance, all biology students should be required to complete a certificate showing competency in PCR before they are allowed to graduate. Agree/Disagree? Answer with explanation here:

Polymerase Chain Reaction: PCR How does PCR work (with figures/narratives) Describe (with figures/narratives) two applications of PCR

You want to study a biomolecule in the laboratory. You have ordered the synthetic gene from a company and want to check that it has been introduced into your model organism. What is the proper order of experiments below for doing this? I. Sanger sequencing II. Transformation III. Restriction digest IV. DNA purification from a single colony I, II, III, IV I, IV, II, III III, II, IV, I II, III, IV, I IV, II, III, I

Why do you think learning about bioinformatics/bioinformatic tools can be important in microbiology?

How can RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and Mirccorays in Transcriptome analysis find disease genes? Please lay out the answer in steps and explain them.

Select a biotechnology approach and describe why this is a good idea, or why it is not a good idea. Use specific examples.

Genetic information has become part of our culture and it is difficult to tell the difference between unmodified and genetically modified food sources such as plant and animals. After reading this module’s material regarding vectors in biotechnology, consider the potential for nanotechnology and scientific advancement.Research nanotechnology and its potential use in biotechnology. In one or two paragraphs, explain the potential advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in health care, agriculture, or industry and discuss whether you would or would not support further research.

How do you feel about the fact that you (the general public), as of today, can purchase biohacking CRISPR kits online?  Should everyone have access to this technology as a consumer product?  Why or why not?
