With the many high throughput experiments that are used in biomedical research, how are some ways to integrate those datasets using systems biology? For example, if you had a microarray dataset that annotated gene expression levels and a proteomics dataset that identifed protein interactions, how could you jointly use both datasets to identify markers for a disease? Explain each step.

Describe two of the applications for genome mapping.
Should the exposome field focus exclusively on measuring chemicals derived from exogebeous sources or should the field also evaluate the chemicals generated and processed from endogeneous sources? If a study of the human genome gave rise to genomics, does the human exposome give rise to a new field of exposomics?
if you encounter an unknown disease in humans and would like to understand the genetic mechanism for this disease so that an effective and targetted treatment approach can be developed , what will be the best strategy or steps to accomplish the goal? NB :answer in at most 4 sentences.
In a microarray experiment, if you label cDNA from Tissue #1 with a red color and cDNA from tissue #2 with a green color and perform a microarray, predict the following gene expression patterns? : A dot that is only red? A dot that is only green? A dot that is only yellow? A dot that is black?
Why is targeting a medication like BiDil at African-Americans a flawed idea from an evolutionary genomics perspective?
Why is it necessary to examine gene-expression profiles, in additionto genome sequences, for effective precision medicine?
Bioinformatics is the science of using computational methods (specialized software) to decipher the biological meaning of information contained within organismal system. Comparisons of experimental data involving DNA sequences generated by different laboratories are critically dependent on the use of a universally agreed-upon standard of analysis. Which of the following is universally used as the agreed-upon standard of analysis for these comparisons? Group of answer choices A GenBank database. A species reference sequence (RefSeq) system. A genomic library collection. A ChIP/chip analysis system.
Why Gene-prediction programs are used ?
CRISPR techniques allow scientists to modify specific genes while sparing all others, thus clarifying the association between a given gene and its consequence to the organism. If this technology can change the future of Medicine, what specific benefits CRISPR can bring to genetic testing or analysis? How can CRISPR help to enhance gene therapy or treatment of genetic diseases?
What is the first step in quantifying the relative amounts of mRNA in different tissues? Would this method be useful in determining which immune system genes might be over-expressed in severe Covid cases? Why or why not? Could quantitative PCR, which uses a DNA-binding dye, to show how many copies of the target DNA sequence could be used to quantify the amount of mRNA in a cell? Would you expect that a metabolically active tissue such as the liver would show more cDNA copies in such a method, compared to less metabolically active tissues such as skin cells? One reason that the types and amounts of mRNAs are quantified in different tissue types is to compare which genes are activated and which are inactive. It used to be thought that any gene that was transcribed was automatically translated. The discovery of RNA-degrading systems shows that the real situation in cells is more complemented. Do you believe that a larger amount of mRNA of a given type, say for alpha hemoglobin in…
