Well, the answer to that is, there's more than one. And the one that comes to my mind right away is an issue earlier this month of the scientific journal Nature, which might be the most prestigious scientific journal in the world, which focused on seven or eight papers describing the complete genome analysis of the genome of the chimpanzee. Yes, that is the cover of the September 1st, 2005 issue of the scientific journal Nature. And you can see that the cover story is the chimpanzee genome. See similar questions...

Our students do a variety of things. About a third will attend medical school, a third will attend graduate school for a masters and/or Ph.D, and a third will do something else (e.g. get a job, law school, sales). See similar questions...

Yes, but you will need to file a form that allows this change to occur. You may also need to change the College where you are presently enrolled. If you are in the College of Letters and Science you may need to transfer to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, or vice versa depending on the location of the program you wish to pursue. Be sure to check with your advisor since requirements may differ from the Biology Major. See similar questions...

Molecular biology 'cold' kits (as they do not contain any radioactive material) are ready-made kits, which contain all the materials; chemicals and biochemical components required for readily carrying out the specified reaction for number of experiments. They can be employed in conjunction with radio-labelled products (to obtain radiolabelled DNA / RNA probes) or with non-radioacive products (to obtain fluorescent or chemiluminescent labeled DNA /RNA probes). e.g. See similar questions...

Yes. Both degree plans include all prerequisite courses for health-related professional schools, including medical. In fact, we require more courses than are necessary to take the MCAT. The extra courses will help you do better on the MCAT, and prepare you well for the professional school of your choice. Additionally, our majors prepare students for a number of other careers, including those in research and industry. See similar questions...

Yes, the Undergraduate Molecular Biology Club represents the community of students majoring in Molecular Biology or interested in Molecular Biology. See similar questions...

A double major is when a student pursues two major fields of study. These fields can be from the same college (finance and marketing) or from two different colleges (finance and economics.) Students must complete all degree requirements for both fields to graduate with a double major. See similar questions...
