DNA microarrays allow scientists to determine the genotype of a chunk of our genome and also measure the how the genes in that chunk are expressed. Using this technique has been essential in isolating genes that predispose people to cancers, and therefore allowing physicians to preemptively identify and monitor at-risk individuals. For instance, the genes BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 have all been identified (using DNA microarrays) and linked to breast cancer. Knowing this allows individuals to seek out testing and take appropriate measures to prevent cancer/monitor the possible onset of cancer, which has proven to be life-saving.
#1 question the answer is False
Hi
I think a very important thing while working in a scientific laboratory is to have cooperation along with a sense of individual responsibility. There are many times when you are not expert in one scientific technique but your senior or fellow worker is because of his/her prior experience. At that point, the people of laboratory should cooperate with each other in giving some tips regarding performing a specific technique and getting the results with minimum time wastage. This does not mean that you take help from some one without giving them credit.
There should be a lab attendant in every lab who should be consulted for every problem so that he can assign some relevant worker to help you in the work. After you get the help, the attendant should confirm from both persons and keep a log about it which they should appreciate and give a fair credit about inquiries of higher authorities like supervisors.
Another important factor that is important for people is to have a sense of respect for each other. This is important to listen to others without just thinking about our own perspective and our own understanding. This also enables to understand a point from larger view and can help to bring a point in mind which we otherwise might skip.
Pretty sure u need to measure your own pulse for this, not sure what it’s asking if not
