The essay assessment component will comprise two typed essays of 1200 words minimum (excluding diagrams and references) that tell me a coherent story ground in scientific fact about any two of the questions/ topics outlined below.
You may discuss any aspect or Emphasis of a topic you consider appropriate in the context of modern biomolecular and genetic science and their application.
Essay topics:
1 How will modern genetic technologies change the face of medicine and healthcare over the next ten years? [ A broad topic the builds on the unit in general]
2. what is the basis for genetic profiling using simple repeat sequences and discuss the application of genetic profiling in law and/ or medicine.

4. how have retrotransposons contributed to disease in humans? Include a brief description of retrotransposons.
5. How have transposable elements contributed to evolutionary advance in animals and primates? Include a brief description of transposable elements.
6.Contrast the use of transposable elements versus CRISPR as approaches to gene therapy.
7. How do alternate splicing and exon shuffling facilitate evolutionary flexibility through changes to gene/ genome structure and function? You might like to consider the context of evolution of life from single cells to complex highly developed multicellular organisms.
8. what is genomics and how will knowing the sequence of a person’s DNA direct the application of personalised medicine?
9. What is the role of epigenetic modification in regulation of gene expression and in disease state?
10.How sis RNA I used to control gene expression in a cell (general) and treat disease(specific)?
11. why are genetic association studies undertaken and how have they added to strategies to detect disease?
12.The 1997 movies GATTACA has been called prescient. WHY?
