These pieces will be enlarged accordingly with the other parts of the device as necessary for the additional samples. The placement may also be shifted for this accommodation with smaller class sizes. | These pieces will be enlarged accordingly with the other parts of the device as necessary for the additional samples.

Benefit and Function: Since this device is aimed at being educational, an important factor is price. It will be cheaper to use a larger device to accomodate more students. | Benefit and Function: Since this device is aimed at being educational, an important factor is price.

In fact, color-coordination will make the instructions easier to follow. Also, many of the pieces will be larger and easier to handle than previous designs. The materials will also be different, however they will have the same function. | ||

Flourimeter Setup: DNA Measurement Protocol ImageJ Procedure: Research and DevelopmentBackground on Disease Markers There are two diseases that our group decided to look into. The first disease is type II diabetes, which is the most common of the diabetes. The body does not produce enough insulin, which regulates the use of glucose, therefore leading to high levels of glucose in the blood. There is a mutation in the third chromosome which causes this disease. The SNP related to this is rs4402960 [1]. The second disease is insomnia. This is a sleeping disorder in which a person cannot fall asleep or stay asleep for as long as they would like. It is caused by a mutation in the twentieth chromosome. The SNP related to this is rs74315403 [2].
