Introduction

Exom sequencing is also known as whole exom sequencing (WES). This sequencing technique is used to sequence all the expressed genes in a genome also called as exom. It is one of the most widely used targeted sequencing methods. The exom which is the protein coding region of the human genome consists of less than 2% of the genetic code. This region is responsible for containing more than 85% of known disease-related variants. Thus, whole exom sequencing is a cost-effective alternative to whole genome sequencing (WGS). This technique is efficient in identifying coding variants across a wide range of ...

Thesis Statement: The film illustrated how greed and blood lust of the people can lead to a bitter end after several African Americans became victims of exploited labor force which is in the simplest form of slavery employed by the Native Americans, who took advantage of their ignorance during the 18th century. 1.) The block quotation that was chosen and was compressed in the film which and should have been more highlighted is the line, “As the price of whale oil continued to rise, while the economy of the other countries continued to suffer due to economic depression, Nantucket ...

The epistolary novel and intimacy are often branded as synonymous terms. The Coquette initially aligns itself as simply an epistolary novel, as the controlled expression of the writers, and limited point of view, offered by the letter form, allows the two leading men to reveal their true thoughts, whether they are the suddenly untempered passions of Reverend Boyer or the duplicitous libertinism of Major Sanford, in a limited and controlled way. However, the often stark contrast between these written confessions and other characters’ perceptions of the writers gives the reader a sense of intimacy, and involvement, in spite of ...

The British novelist, critic and essayist Virginia Stephen Woolf is considered one of the most authentic writers of England in the period between the First and the Second World Wars. Being discontented with the novels on the basis of the well-known, actual and apparent, Woolf went on her own experimental way. Walking along this path, the writer discovered a more internal, subjective interpretation of life experience, which is reflected in all of her creative works. It is also worth mentioning about the impact of such famous people such as Henry James, Marcel Proust and James Joyce on her work. ...

Vrignia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse

In To The Lighthouse, Woolf provides an important perspective of consciousness, grief, and memory. The initial part of the book, that is, “The Window” touches on the relationship of the characters and their surroundings. “Time Passes” is the second section of the book and it is arguably the most informative portion of the book as the narrator discusses the aspect of feeling and absence from the perspective of Ramsay’s house. This portion causes rapid acceleration of the events and the narrative in general as one witnesses the elapse of about ten years within about twenty pages. Within this ...

After reading the poem by Susan Minot “My Husband’s back” I began to think about love relations and their role in our life. How do they affect us? How much do they influence our lives? The author tries to show her feeling in this short poem, but everything is clear without any other words. The author is ready to travel everywhere to be behind the back of her husband. There is only one person in her life – her husband and it is may be not real love but love dependence. But from that poem it becomes clear that ...

Written in 1759, Voltaire’s Candide is an adventure novel that tracks the life of Candide, an innocent boy who is desperately in love with a girl. However, this love story is unusual in that Candide embarks on a number of journeys and faces tough situations, and all underneath a satiric writing style. Candide teases the archetypal coming-of-age novel and particularly literature’s representation of romantic love. As Nelly Severin points out: ‘Some critics have seen in Candide a parody of “romance” and Voltaire certainly used an array of “romance” commonplaces, such as shipwrecks, pirates, bastard births, abductions and ...

This paper will review the first two chapters of the book in order to present the critical ...

Thesis Statement: War completely changes soldiers who participate in it.

The Theme of Dystopian Society in the works of Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury

Introduction All the three books, 1984 that was published in 1948 and written by George Orwell, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World that was written in 1931, and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 are the examples of dystopian literature.

While utopian fiction portrays the future being advanced and prosperous as a result of the improvement of technology that assists them ...

Demian is a novel that explores the inner mind of the narrator, a young man named Emil Sinclair (Hesse, 2009).

Traditionally, good and evil have been the root concepts of morality. Christian morality and ethics have long been the basis of morality in the western world (Ziolkowski, 1973). However, in the text, Demian encourages Sinclair to transcend these traditional understandings of morality ...

Inspired by real-life events of the Lima Crisis, the novel Bel Canto creates an eloquent – and probably rather unexpected – image of the terrorist-hostage situation: Ann Pratchett drives the plot away from political and economic intricacies and moves it into the realm of real human relationships and life experiences.

People often juxtapose their world to the world of nature. More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole. However, in most cases, people are just slaves of circumstances and of the environment in which they happen to exist. Disgrace, a Booker-prize winning novel by J.M. Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

In “Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: A Review,” C.S.

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper.

Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

Having a meaningful life is something that people have been aiming to do in their lifetime. Everyone wants to bring a meaning in his/ her life.

This may be attributed to the idea that they want their happiness to last. Happiness is something that is present and fleeting. On the other hand, when someone puts meaning in his life, it extends to the future and seems more stable. Because of this, ...

Survival, Resilience, and Redemption” by Laura Hillenbrand

During the US Civil War, the Union’s famous Gen. Sherman once said that war is “all hell.” Many military commanders, as well as the countless victims of warfare, have echoed this sentiment down through the ages. Certainly, warfare reveals humanity to sometimes be far less than humane. The worst characteristics of human kind are often brought to the forefront by the nature of war and its relentless objectives. But as horrible as warfare can be for the average soldier in the trenches fighting next to his comrades, it can be (and often is) even more nightmarish and unimaginably ...

[Assignment]

There has been a major push in the past few decades towards diversity in the literary canon, which was for a long while dominated by similar voices with similar origins. This push toward diversity has taken many forms: the integration of more female voices; the inclusion of more writers of color, regardless of their origin; and the inclusion of works of literature from non-Western cultures that have for too long been ignored. This last point has become known by the name multiculturalism, and though there is agreement throughout the academic community that this addition of previously un-acknowledged voices ...
