Genome targeting and editing has provided the ability to better understand and determine the function of genes in many model organisms. Genomes are composed of genes which are the basic unit of heredity that determine the traits organisms express. With the ability to target specific genes and edit them, genes and their locations in the genome can be studied and determine their significance and function, in addition to gaining an understanding to human disease and possible routes to eliminate…

The ethics of gene manipulation proposes a rather complex debate because of opposing religious/individual takes on this issue. My position on this issue is “in-between” because this could be a fantastic advancement at rescuing a family from a harmful genetic disease passing on and advances in genetic engineering have and still could enable an abundance of people with infertility problems to start a family. Although, the negative impacts of gene manipulation remain vital, it violates a child’s…

improve my actual writing. I need to structure my writing time better: planning my essay before I begin writing, keeping an updated copy of my outline on hand, giving myself interim deadlines, and allowing plenty of time for editing. Planning time to edit after writing will especially improve my final papers. Making better estimates of how long writing and editing will take is a skill that will develop the more I write on the block plan. I need to do more preplanning of my papers. This should…

Steven Barnhart has potential. After a little bit of a bumpy start, he got the hang of the system and how to operate Trello and BLOX. He was consistently prompt in letting me know which stories he planned on editing in his workflow. He responded in a timely manner and was able to catch some errors. However, I believe that there is a lot of room for growth. I believe that this was a good opportunity for him to get his hands dirty and gain experience. Barnhart edited five stories that were…

always using them correctly). However, even if I cannot catch my mistakes with commas or anything else while I am writing, I have a better chance to catch my mistakes while I am editing.
