ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project
EXPLANATION:
Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.
The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.
However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.
In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.
Answer:
This is a well conserved sequence.
Explanation: BLAST a way to match or align a string of DNA or protein sequence to those that are already in a database. The way that this is done is by using statistics carefully to calculate the significance of the match. The BLAST result will produce 4 categories Max Score, Total Score, Query cover, E-Value Percent Identity. The Accession will indicate database of the sequence. In this Sequence: AAGACCCGCCGGGAGGCAGAGGACCTGCAGGGTGAGCCAACCGCCCATTGCT covers over 98.08% identity to the coding sequence (cds) of insulin. This sequence appears to be in a conserved region for many of the listed organism. This suggest that this part of the coding sequence for this protein is highly conserved
