<h1><b>Classroom Discussion</b></h1>
<h2h3 style="margin-left: 40px"><b>What is a lecture?</b></h2h3><pstyle="margin-left: 40px"> Lecture is a form of presentation that conveys information and opens a discussion time. Not only does lecture require the informative material to teach people, communication between the participants takes a big role. Two-way communication between the lecturer and audience is one type and multi-way communication between the audiences is another. Also, by orally presenting the information, the audience can increase the efficiency of comprehending, and by asking questions and getting answers, full knowledge is transmitted.</p><h2h3 style="margin-left: 40px"><b>What is real?</b></h2h3><pstyle="margin-left: 40px"> A real object must have atoms to be composed of. Every material in the “real world” consists of atoms and molecules. Sometimes they are unable to touch, feel, see, or smell by naked human sense, but as long as they are made of atoms, they are real. In that sense, cyber space is not real. They are just imaginary space which is expressed in special method such as electrical monitors. Codes are similar to our thoughts or opinion; in other words, they are just an expression of real object (especially human in this case). What is real is the medium that transmits that expressions.</p>

<h1><span style="font-size: x-large"><b>Genomics</b></span></h1>
In conclusion, as the author says that “the human cancer genome project is fundamentally flawed”, questions remain for the role of genomics in cancer treatment. Would they still take the big part in cancer treatments? Or was the cancer genome project just a waste of effort? The answers can be disputable depending on situations, but I still believe that the project was significant. Thanks to the work, the information of cancer-causing gene and its regulatory sites have been discovered. While the appliance to clinical use is uncertain, the study was worth a shot.<br />

<h1><b>Proteomics</b></h1><p>Proteomics is the study of the structure and the function of proteins, especially related to genes.</p><p> </p><h2>Proteomics in the Diagnosis of Autism</h2><p style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 40pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="line-height: 115%">Autism is a neurodevelopmental disease that is associated with multi-factors including environmental, genetic, and neurological perspectives. The scientists have long been researched about the cure of this disorder, but the full recovery seems to be far further in the future. However, recently biological researchers have discovered a way to diagnose this disease using proteomics. Proteomics is the combination of proteins and genomes: the whole study of quantitative and qualitative protein functions in various types of tissues. It has already been proven with the usefulness in discovering biomarkers for cancer or other neurodevelopmental disorders and the effect of several drugs. Thus, the article shows an example of proteomic approach to autism and explains about its capabilities.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%"> A scientist named Junaid researched about the abnormal protein expression in 8 brains of autism patients. Out of eight brains, four showed an increase in polarity of glyoxalase I, and the sequencing result revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism causing an AlaGlu exchange. He discovered that this set of gene has some effects for the aetiology of autism. Other than this study, with the help of many useful biological techniques like 2-D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, study of proteins has been helpful in studying biomarkers for autism.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%"> The author argues for the important role of proteomics in autism biomarker research. However, drawbacks exist in this type of approach. Only small part of protein role was detected to be effective, and the high abundance protein blocks the detection of the activities of low abundance protein. Is proteomics still useful despite these hindrances? The author says it is worth a go, but in my opinion, the study of genomes is the first step to be taken. A priori approach is the most fundamental and first to study proteins. To know the sequence of amino acids we should know the codons that translate the amino acids, which lead to the study of genes. Without knowing deeply about genes (Genomic approach of autism is still under research), proteomics may be useful in diagnostic aspect but not enough in cure. I believe the ultimate goal of disease study is the treatment. Thus proteomic approach may be insufficient.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%"> In conclusion, the study of proteins in autism is proven to be effective in diagnosing the disorder. Specific details are introduced briefly above, and using these as a supporting fact, the author argues for the importance of proteomics in autism study. This may be true but not sufficient in the full cure of the disease. Therefore, since autism is a very complicated disorder, several studies should be propelled in various aspects including genomics and proteomics. </span></span></p><div style="line-height: 115%; -ms-word-break: keep-all"><span style="font-size: small"> </span></div><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; text-indent: -36pt"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><cite><a name="_ENREF_1"><span style="font-size: small">Laila, AL-Ayadhi, and Dost Muhammad Halepoto.
