If your office informed you that they were switching from anatomical charting to geometric charting, what would your opinion be?

Choose one representation that presents enough discrepancy that you might make a medical error
4)Describe the discrepancy and explain what error might occur (for example treatment planning the wrong procedure, or in a forensic situation confusion about conditions present).
5)Which chart would you prefer to use in practice? Which chart would you least like to use in practice?Explain your opinion by explaining the benefit and limitations of each.
6)If your office informed you that they were switching from anatomical charting to geometric charting,
what would your opinion be?

Describe Gene Ontology (GO) database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database and how they can help with the gene annotation.

 

Background on RNAseq, and what is its advantage and why it is useful for gene annotation. Provide specific applications used in journal articles.

a) Some background information just for reference: Most modern researchers use RNAseq to characterize global patterns of gene expression. The advantage is that it extracts RNA from any organism, and you can target eukaryotic gene expression by enriching for RNA that has a poly-A tail. Another advantage is that the bioinformatic analysis can build a de novo reference, meaning even if there is no sequenced genome for a particular organism.

3. Describe Gene Ontology (GO) database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database and how they can help with the gene annotation. How can you determine a gene name/general function and how can you determine what the function of that gene might be in a model organism? How well do you think these functions can translate to a non-model organism? Which database gives you more useful information?

The Art of Sceptism in a Data-Driven World.

An important aspect of information literacy is being able to read charts and graphs — and recognizing when they are misleading. Charts and graphs combine numbers and visuals, so we can think of our ability to understand them as combining visual, quantitative, and information literacy.
