Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2PDQ
Review the Chapter Concepts list on page 345. All of these pertain to how genomics, bioinformatics, and proteomics approaches have changed how scientists study genes and proteins. Write a short essay that explains how recombinant DNA techniques were used to identify and study genes compared to how modem genomic techniques have revolutionized the cloning and analysis of genes.

Discuss the advantages of next-generation sequencing technologies.
Discuss three important advances that have resulted from gene cloning.
CRISPR techniques allow scientists to modify specific genes while sparing all others, thus clarifying the association between a given gene and its consequence to the organism. If this technology can change the future of Medicine, what specific benefits CRISPR can bring to genetic testing or analysis? How can CRISPR help to enhance gene therapy or treatment of genetic diseases?
