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 ...

Synopsis A

I agree with some parts of Synopsis A that refers to a chain of command being created to ensure a more systematic management of the Band of Merrymen. However, I believe that the solution does not provide specifics as to how revenues can be collected. I believe that it would be best to place leaders nearby the towns so that they can be easily identified by the wealthy, which will then lead them to avoid the areas where they know that the band’s leaders are located. I think that the solution is incomplete without ...

Day One: 26 January 2017

I attended a funeral in the early morning, in a Catholic chapel. It was a traditional Requiem Mass, so there were several hymns involved. All of these except one were sung in a call-and-response manner, accompanied by an organ, with a lone soprano singing the verses, and the congregation singing the chorus sections. The last hymn, the recessional hymn, was sung by everyone all the way through. As is usual for hymns, they were slow and quiet in nature, and had one single line of melody, as this was not a professional choir. This was live music, accompanied by ...

Its concepts further provide guidance on the selection of transactions, related events, and circumstances to be presented, and how such elements should be summarized and ultimately reported (Financial Accounting Standards Board [FASB], 2008).

The bullwhip effect can be detrimental to the efficiency of a supply chain. Demand of a product may only slightly shift, but it can lead to a much greater shift in manufacturing a product. This is when the “variability in demand is magnified as we move from the customer to the producer in the supply chain” (Robert & Chase). It specifically relates to a lack of coordination in a supply chain as a company makes purchases from its suppliers more unpredictably than it sells to its customer (Mendelson & Bray, 2016). It also relates to a lack of coordination in the ...

Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business. Besides enabling a ...
