Next-generation Sequencing

95.8K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Sanger Sequencing

766.1K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Emerging Adulthood

356
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.9K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Generation Time01:22

Generation Time

969
Bacterial generation time, the period required for a bacterial population to double during its exponential growth phase, serves as a critical measure of microbial growth dynamics under optimal conditions. This parameter varies significantly across bacterial species and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the availability of nutrients. For example, Escherichia coli can achieve a generation time of approximately 20 minutes, while Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a much...

Upward Impending Motion01:21

Upward Impending Motion

452
A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. Its operation is based on converting the force applied at its handle into a torsional moment, causing the upward impending motion of the screw. This movement is accomplished by overcoming the static friction between the threads of the screw and the jack.
To better comprehend how a screw jack functions, consider the completely unraveled thread as a block in contact with the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Laterality research should explore hemispheric cooperation and strength, not just left-right distinctions. Careful analysis of individual differences and effect sizes can prevent bias against left-handers.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human Behavior

Background:

  • Laterality research often focuses narrowly on left-right distinctions, a phenomenon known as "dichotomania."
  • This approach overlooks crucial aspects like the strength of lateralization and interhemispheric interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a more nuanced understanding of human laterality.
  • To highlight the limitations of dichotomous thinking in laterality research.
  • To emphasize the importance of examining hemispheric cooperation and individual differences.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing laterality research.
  • Critique of the "dichotomania" trend in the field.
  • Discussion of methodological improvements such as pre-registration and effect size reporting.

Main Results:

  • A call for research to move beyond simple left-right dichotomies.
  • Identification of potential biases, including Type I errors and stigmatization of left-handers.
  • Emphasis on the significance of laterality strength and hemispheric interplay.

Conclusions:

  • Future laterality research should embrace complexity, considering laterality strength and hemispheric dynamics.
  • Methodological rigor, including pre-registration and effect size reporting, is essential to mitigate bias and advance the field.
