- Genetic Engineering Will Change Everything Forever – CRISPR

   -> Interesting introduction of what is the novel technique of CRISPR

   -> Most of them only focus on advantages of CRISPR

   -> Even though we know the cause and effect of some gene defection and other related mechanisms, we still don't know the

       all of the completed mechanism that is related on some gene.  Therefore, eliminating or editing using CRISPR could affect on

       what scientist know based on nowadays knowledge but can't predict what would happen on area where we don't know until nowadays.

      Also, this technique is not used for more than several generation of species. Therefore, editing baby their genome using CRISPR might have

     chance to change something we wouldn't have imagine before.

     -> New technique is very important for human beings. but, we should really know 100% sure the result of editing and how to prevent from being mutated.

Whole Genome Alignment

program for whole genome alignment

MUMmer
-> Designed for rapid alignment of entire genomes

NUCmer
-> Designed for alignment of contigs to another set of contigs or a genome

PROmer
-> protein level
-> Designed for alignment of species too divergent for DNA alignment using six-frame translation
of both input sequences
