Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Molecular Biology Techniques

Using a sequence database includes consulting several Internet databases (or purchased software) and comparing the results.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is it important to use databases when comparing DNA?
- Is there more to be learned about the nucleotides and genetic diseases than we already know? Why, or why not? What is the next step?
- If you have a specific genetic mutation, does it automatically mean you will acquire a disease? Why, or why not?
