SCI 115 Week 4 Discussion

Week 4 Discussion: Genome, Transcriptome and Proteome. For your primary post, please respond to one (1) of the following three (3) topics with a post of at least 125 words addressing the issue. Also, please reply to at least one fellow student on any topic.

Topic 1. Omics video. Watch the instructor's video about "-omics", in the Instructor Insights section. Describe four things you learned from the instructor’s video about ‘-omics’. (Note: If you choose this discussion topic, your answer must be based on the material specifically covered in the video, rather than generic information on –omicsfrom the internet. If you would rather research information from the internet, then choose discussion topic 3).

Topic 2. Synthetic genome video. Watch the instructor’s video about the synthetic genome “Syn 3.0” in the Instructor Insights section. Subsequently, answer the following: (a) How did Craig Venter and colleagues design Syn 3.0? (b) What do you think we’ve learned, if anything, from Syn 3.0? Explain. (c) In your opinion, what are the inherent risks of this research, if any?

Topic 3. Patent protection for BRCA genes. On the Internet, read one or more articles about the case of Association for Molecular Pathology versus Myriad Genetics. In your answer, give credit to your source(s). Your answer must address the following: (a) Why did the plaintiffs object to Myriad’s patent on the breast cancer-related genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2)? (b) How did the court rule? (c) What is your view on the issue of patentability of human genes? Keep in mind that patent protection is temporary (20 years).
