most intellectually stimulating experiences. With my goal to learn as much as possible under Dr. Nolan Kane, the Professional Investigator of the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative (CGRI), I have expanded my traditional bench lab experience to bioinformatics, hemp breeding, and leading designing and performing my own project examining differential protein expression in Cannabis. Although I am deeply fascinated by a four letter code that encodes the human body, I am also providing myself the…

the preliminary data, all of the behavioral, genomics, bioinformatics, gene manipulation and biochemical studies are feasible between the Puthanveettil and Stackman laboratories. Additionally, we have obtained support letters from the leading experts in the field of lncRNA biology and regulation, such as John Rinn from Harvard University and the Broad Institute and our colleague at Scripps, Kevin Morris. Letters for genomics, bioinformatics, mouse behavior and imaging analysis are also attached.…

to person at a very fast rate. Maggie likely got sick simply from being around so many other sick people. I found through this unit the benefits of having modern medical equipment and accessible knowledge. Throughout this unit I was able to use bioinformatics like an actual doctor would to help in the identification of a disease. I learned how diseases can often be misleading since most share very common symptoms. I also learned that early diagnosis is key with any ailment but, especially…

I emigrated from Kumasi, Ghana to New York City in the summer of 1999. I knew as a young child back in Ghana that education was important. My family along with many others in my village would make sacrifices in order to afford school uniforms and school fees. The situation was not any different when I arrive in New York City. My neighborhood of Washington Heights is a predominantly immigrant neighborhood. Many of the families like my own, want their children to have assess to education. The…

to certain mutations in patient’s gene and treatment would be done accordingly to target that specific mutation. The proliferation of bioinformatics and computational genomics plays a pivotal role in making this incentive effective. From extracting the raw data of DNA to understanding the genetic variations and clinical indication of these information, bioinformatics is leveraging these implications towards creating the personalized…

Agile SCRUM COLLAPSE Discuss your experience with Agile methods, be sure to include both positive and negatives. Do you think a company should dictate the methodology that is used? Make sure you backup your answer with evidence (examples, lectures, books, outside information). In my past and current jobs in IT field I have experienced agile scrum methodology. It has its pros and cons: PROS • The advantages of the agile methodology that I have encountered are that it helps in a way that the…

DNA sequencing (Sanger to NGS) Introduction: The DNA sequencing methods have quickly evaluated for the forty last years and their finding was joined by breakthroughs in the field of Molecular biology (1). The first efficient method to sequencing DNA was found by F.Sanger in 1977 (2). But the huge desire to sequencing genomes required faster methods and many improvements were made. Fluorescence, capillary electrophoresis and microarrays led to a new way for sequencing genes : the Next Generation…

The number one animal that is tested on for research is the guinea pig, with a close second being rabbits. Many other animals are used for research, in total there is about 1,134,693 animals that are tested on yearly. There has been many advances in medicine over the years except for the fact that animals are still used as testing subjects. Animal testing is a very unethical and terrible thing to do on another living creature. Animals are suppose to obtain love and happiness from humans, but…

American Library Association has several MLS programs within the United States. Along with earning your MLS, it’s recommended to have some other background or experience in the sciences. For example some related sciences include; allied health, bioinformatics, health sciences or even general…

sequenced with this protocol, I will produce reliable results and allow for further analysis of this data on subsequent projects through having greater replication of this experiment. The differential expression analysis will be performed through bioinformatics tools including HT-Seq, TopHat and other scripts that I will write in the bash programming language. This analysis will be performed on the supercomputer in Dr. Kane’s Lab since it has the processing power and memory to handle this amount…
