Title: Develop a timeline of milestones in genomics.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Agricultural and Environmental Science (18308-II) > Section: Investigating Genome Sciences

Development of the timeline should include, but not be limited to, major events in genetic engineering such as

- Mendel's discovery
- genomic sequencing and the requisite technologies
- gene therapy
- cloning
- gene editing
- polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
- clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What was Mendel's contribution to the field of genetic engineering?
- What is the importance of DNA modeling?
- What is the importance of gene therapy in modern medicine?
- What is cloning, and why is it controversial?
- What is CRISPR, and what ethical complications may arise from its use?
- How has genetics affected forensic investigations?
- How has genome sequencing improved our understanding of genes?
