@Fernand07631511 @BSCI422Prof In the use of solving cold cases DNA testing is very useful. We need more laws in place protect the individual historically corporations don’t. This is powerful data it is the code that makes you. We don’t know all the implications of that or how that information could be abused.

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222 https://t.co/6bsVfTtaTe Genetic testing can be done at home. But what happens to your genetic data? Companies keep it in a database. Cops have used these databases to solve crimes. Is this an invasion of privacy? Are you worried about your genetic privacy?

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@BSCI422Prof They used genetic genealogy to identify the killer and genetic testing of isotopes to identify some things abaoit the victims. It took so long to solve because no one was missing. No one locally knew of any families that matched their descriptions that were missing #BSCI422

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@TaylorL12900 @BSCI422Prof No I don’t think it should be legal. To steal someone’s genetic information is a big deal. Your DNA holds a lot more information than who your parents are. I think such a request should either be talked about and agreed to with written consent or debated in a court of law.

@BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222 https://t.co/de6Y3WQI6a We have moved through history from not knowing to knowing 99.9%.If you found out your father wasn’t your biological father would it change your relationship with the man who raised you? This article suggests not. What do you think?

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@BSCI422Prof With the help of their mitochondrial DNA which is passed down through the maternal line. A geneticist DR. King helped to create a database. They have been able to find over 100 of these lost children. #BSCI422

@BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222 https://t.co/21gYycaHg8 Scientists found a receptor for lactic acid whoch is found in fermented foods. It creates an anti inflammatory response in our immune system. Do you eat fermented foods? If not will you to gain the health benefits?

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@BSCI422Prof Looking at the list of fermented food items from the video in the module. I would say coffee, miso, and soy sauce. I would be curious to try poi or Sufu.

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@Fernand07631511 @BSCI422Prof I had not heard of that with cocoa! I would say beer, wine, Kombucha and kimchi are ones that come to mind. It would be interesting to see a whole list of foods and drinks affected in this way. #BSCI4222 @BSCI422Prof

@carlosatunhm @BSCI422Prof anytime we can use nature to help clean up things like oil spills is good. During this class I have come across so many articles about innovation based on using what nature already has in place. We do need to be careful what we use as to not create a bigger problem. #BSCI4222

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

#BSCI4222 @BSCI422Prof https://t.co/bHzVyeU8Cm these scientists are trying to create a closed loop system for creating plastic and breaking it down with PETase and MHETase. What is the main problem identified in the article with breaking down PET plastics?

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@BSCI422Prof I learned what bioremediation is! I had no idea that it was the removal or neutralization of toxic substances with biological substances. That this technique can be used to clean up things like oil spills is encouraging #BSCI422

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@TaylorL12900 @BSCI422Prof We will need to rethink the ‘lab’ and perhaps build them in ocean environments or recreate them. The amount of bacteria and archae instead of being daunting should be hopeful. The next antibiotic breakthrough could be in what we don’t know. we should put more funding towards them

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@carlosatunhm @BSCI422Prof I don’t think that DNA should be patented. But I do think using those DNA sequences in the development of comericialzed products is fine and maybe even good as it may drive innovation for these companies to have monetary insentives. @BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

#BSCI4222 @BSCI422Prof https://t.co/Gqk3Fucc9j scientists can now use DNA databases to compare DNA they find in the waterways to check for invasive species. Do you think this can/will be adopted by other countries, cities, towns as a way to monitor their water? If not why not?

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@BSCI422Prof Biotechnology that is specific to aquatic environments, rivers, lakes and the ocean. After reading about it I learned that it is a perfect environment to test our biotech innovations as our earth is mostly water and contains extreme environments. #BSCI422 @BSCI422Prof

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

#BSCI422topic my topic explores antibiotic resistance and ways to overcome it. @BSCI422Prof

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@Fernand07631511 @BSCI422Prof I agree, while both seem to have been well thought out and well studied. I like the comparison that these more mature cells are a lot like donor cells a process already tested. I think these “mature” cells seem well studied and successful.

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

Scientists have found a way to use stem cells to make insulin-producing beta cells. They can use iSPC, mature cells or ESC, partially differentiated cells. Which do you think will be more successful? #BSCI4222 @BSCI422Prof https://t.co/f3tzFp1I10

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@NickMarcusUNH @BSCI422Prof They may be able to more closely examine how the electrical pathways in the brain work. I also say a few more articles about the small organs. Perhaps they will pave the way for fully grown organs that can be transplanted. #BSCI4222

[seashelly.wander @SeashellyW]

@Krayola47 @BSCI422Prof money will be the most limiting factor to start. These treatments are expensive and will remain out of reach for the average person. I do think that ethical limits will be pushed and already have been to the advantage/hope scientific breakthroughs bring. @BSCI422Prof #BSCI4222
