## Module 4 Research a Diagnostic Test

### Write

In a short essay, 300-500 words, explain how the SNP experiment you did is like a medical diagnostic test. Also, choose a biotechnology-based medical diagnostic test that interests you, and research the cost of the test. (If you need ideas, you may want to check out the products of local companies Myriad Genetics and BioFire. They generally don’t list costs outright, but news articles about the tests often do include that information. Another useful website is https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/precision/ ) Evaluate the availability of that biotechnology diagnostic test to individuals in developed and underdeveloped nations. Submit the assignment in the textbox or upload a Word document.
