al. (2017), researchers developed a technique to re-identify human samples using MinION with high accuracy rate. To achieve a high accuracy rate of %99.9 percent, they developed a Bayesian algorithm that computes a posterior probability that the sketch matches the database or does not match. Using this technique they could identify samples based on 3-13 minute of the sequencing and 60-300 informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Although this technique is fast and autonomous in sequencing
taking this class, I have come to have a greater appreciation for writing. I have learned that in writing, it is not what you say, but rather how you say it. There are several important writing techniques and lessons I have learned in this class that aide in improving the “how”.

Through an examination of the films Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby, the evolution and adaptation of his techniques become evident.
