Organize the techniques that have arisen in the age of genomics.
Give one benefit or application for each technique. The first one has
been done for you.

Description Technique Application or
Benefit
inserting recombinant
DNA into human cells
to treat diseases

gene therapy might someday be
used to cure genetic
diseases
slides or chips used
to analyze complex
changes in gene
expression
an international effort
to describe regions of
linked variations in the
human genome
the study of how to
manage large amounts
of biological
information

the study of all of the
DNA in the genome of
an organism

the study and
cataloging of an
organism’s proteins
