... or DNA called transposons, she typically has the same researching process each time. She starts off with a "literature search", which in her field means anything and everything relating to her topic in scientific journals. This is where she looks up every article ever written on her general subject ... the web. "Because we usually have hundreds of resources...and they come out constantly...it's a lot easier to keep track of things on the computer...and has minimized the amount of time spent in the library xeroxing." "However," continued Whitney, "although computers make it a lot easier ...

... will lead to a new revolution, synergy. The quantum theory, which was established in the 1950's, has given rise to other revolutions: the computer revolution and the biomolecular revolution. It is the author's belief that by combining and mixing these revolutions a new powerful tool has been created that ... . It stated that energy was not continuous, and subatomic particles have an equation which can be used in a laboratory to predict properties. The computer revolution began in 1948 with the discovery of the transistor by scientist in the Bell Laboratories. In 1944 Schrodinger explained...

... the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from analytical engine, to calculator, to computer. But science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even entertainment, but never in history will ... their hidden agendas in the halls of the United States congress. Genetic engineering is a safe and powerful tool that will yield unprecedented results, specifically in the field of medicine. It will usher in a world where gene defects, bacterial disease, and even...

... separate fields of science (e.g., Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics), collectively they're doing just two types or broad categories of research - basic and applied. Basic research expands the knowledge base in a field of science. It may become the basis for a major theory or entire industry (e.g., DNA/genetic engineering), or it may simply occupy disc or library space until the end of time ... I know of, and that process - mutation - is entirely random. The phenotype that results from mutation is not random, but it's not easy to predict precisely (it can be estimated with computer ...

... with sites in DNA that have different lengths because of their variable numbers of repeated units (VNTRs) (Housman 543). The VNTRs are where DNA goes into "the genetic equivalent of a computer programming loop" and copies itself repeatedly. This takes place at the end of each chromosome and/or in tons of other identifiable locations along "DNA's six-foot length" (Schefter 2-3). This ... from a purified DNA sample which has been made into billions of copies and identified by types found in that sample (Cheney 3). Genetic fingerprinting uses the complex technology of an electrical field t...
