Science Fair PresentationsExtra credit for presenting

Science fair expectationsFor those of us who aren’t

presenting, I expect you to be courteous (do not talk while others are presenting) and ask questions at the end.

If you are choosing to goof off, you are choosing to have points deducted from your own project.

Human Genome ProjectCompleted in 200313 year project that cost roughly $3 billionProject goals:

◦ identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA

◦determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA

◦store this information in databases◦ improve tools for data analysis◦ transfer related technologies to the private

sector, and ◦address the ethical, legal, and social issues

(ELSI) that may arise from the project. ◦ http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/home.shtml

Genetic Mappinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpyLhNOo3SE What do you think genetic mapping is?

◦We’ve briefly discussed this already.

Genetic mapping - also called linkage mapping - can offer firm evidence that a disease transmitted from parent to child is linked to one or more genes. It also provides clues about which chromosome contains the gene and precisely where it lies on that chromosome.

What we’re doing today and tomorrow…Today:

◦Watching a few video clips about genetic mapping.

◦Reading two different articles both from the New York Times. The first talks about the lucrativeness of genetic

mapping. The second talks about the insurance worries

about DNA Mapping.

Tomorrow:◦Quizzing◦Analyzing the debating the positives and

negatives behind genetic mapping

questions that you have or things you find interesting.

Positives Negatives

ArticlesI’d be lying if I said that these

were short. You need to work with your

partner to read these articles. While you are reading, write

down any positives or negatives that you stumble across about genetic mapping.
