Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 12IMT
For each statement, identify which major theme is evident (the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological systems, or evolution) and explain how the statement relates to the theme. If necessary, review the theme descriptions (see Chapter 1) and review the examples highlighted in blue in this chapter.
12. Cells are constantly rearranging molecules by breaking existing

A Comprehensive Biomedical Variant Catalogue Based on Whole Genome Sequences of 582 Dogs and Eight Wolves (Jagannathan et al., 2019) The research consists of a catalog of genetic variants from the WGS of 582 dogs of 126 breeds plus 8 wolves, according to Jagannathan et al. (2019). In a study performed by the DBVDC, more than 23 million single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and over 10 million short insertions and deletions were discovered. Perhaps more worrisome, 93 of these variants were new and had not been reported earlier. This research will focus on shedding some light on genetic diseases prevalent in the dog population, most of which are similar to those affecting humans and, thus, would be very useful in both canine and human research fields.
