Chapter 19, Problem 1

In this chapter, we focused on a number of interesting applications of genetic engineering, genomics, and biotechnology. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions? From GWAS how do we know which genes are associated with a particular genetic disorder?

Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together in a genome wide association study, the genomes of what types of individuals are analyzed. So we know that genome wide association studies analyze populations or disease jeans and it does so by scanning the she gnomes, thousands of unrelated individuals with a particular disease to compare two unaffected individuals. Which means that in a genome wide association study, the genomes of the type of individuals that are analyzed are unrelated individuals with a particular disease or answer choice B the correct answer because genome wide association studies analyze populations for disease genes by scanning the genomes of thousands of unrelated individuals with that particular disease to compare genomes to the unaffected individuals. So answer choice B is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.

Textbook Question
In this chapter we focused on how specific DNA sequences can be copied, identified, characterized, and sequenced. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning underlying these techniques. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions? How can gene knockouts, transgenic animals, and gene editing techniques be used to explore gene function?
