Marty Macrophage has just been disqualified from swimming in the Olympics for blood doping.  He claims that it was “all natural” and he used only his own blood – no artificial substances - that would give him an enhanced ability over his competitors and therefore should not be eliminated. Please explain to him why his thinking is flawed and indeed his physiology is enhanced.

Describe the application of molecular testing to newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF)

Discuss Xeroderma Pigmentosum in terms of DNA repair failure (Need to be thorough and specific. You may group the enzymes as to their specific functions such as helicase, endonuclease, ssDNA binding, etc.).

What are the similarities and differences between genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics?

I need a 3-4 page research paper on the following topic: (The class is healthcare law and regulation)

To what extent does regulation create a drag on the efficiency and productivity of the health care industry and to what extent does it facilitate its success?

(I very much appreciate the work that goes into answering these questions! But please do not answer this question with things like a bulleted list, or something copy and pasted from a publication, because that isn't what I am in need of, and I don't want to waste your time or mine;) )

Thanks so much!

8. What is a Durham tube? Why is it added to a PR carbohydrate test? Could you obtain the same data provided by a Durham tube by removing it from the tube and adding something else to the medium? If so, what new component would you add to the medium.

In a short essay (100-150 words), explain why intersexual selection often leads to sexual dimorphism.

Compare and contrast the gene expression regulation mechanisms of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. (essay)

As a class, we added several different reagents to our Winogradsky columns. We also made one control-column that had nothing added to it (aside from sediment and water). Everyone added paper towels (but at varying depths), and sulfate to the bottom of their columns. The rest of the treatments are listed below. Please indicate what types of organisms you might enrich with that type of treatment and why, or how and why that treatment might result in a different type of growth rate or metabolic rate. (Possible organisms are listed but not limited to: Oxygenic phototrophic microorganisms, Diatom, Cyanobacteria, Filamentous algae, Purple sulfur-oxidizing phototrophic bacteria, Green sulfur-oxidizing phototrophic bacteria, Aerobic heterotrophs, Fermenting bacteria, Sulfate-reducing bacteria...)
