Week 5 Blog Post 1: What are Some Benefits and Challenges of Genomic Data?

This blog consists of two steps:
Step 1: Using a minimum of five paragraphs, create a personal blog on a topic that best identifies ways in which using data derived by the human genome project benefits and/or challenges your area of practice. Include any personal concerns you may have regarding where the future of this technology will lead your practice. The blog should convey a professional, informed writing style and be engaging to the reader with supporting links to relevant media, literature, or websites.
Step 2: Read all the posted blogs. Post a minimum of five comments and/or questions to your professor and your colleagues by the end of the Week 6 (Week 6, Day 7). Replies to questions about your own blog also count toward the minimum five comments.
Blog comments are generally shorter and less formal than postings to the discussion board. To achieve points, your comments should be no fewer than two sentences long and reflect an understanding of the blog topic. The idea is to have an informed, ongoing, casual conversation about the blog topics during Weeks 5 and 6.
