Biology
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Business Impact Analysis

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) refers to the method of determining the potential risks that a business will encounter when disaster strikes. It is the first step in the contingency planning process. Large businesses with strong disaster recovery planning programs put BIA into their programs, making it one of the important stages. Unless BIA has been conducted, the disaster recovery programs will not be fully developed since the output of BIA will ascertain the strategies and policies that will be in the disaster recovery program of the company.
