Advancements in Genetics

For this writing project, you will apply your learning and engage in a rigorous process of academic research and writing on a topic of your choosing relevant
to your intended discipline of study. This topic should be sufficiently broad so that you can identify numerous sources to inform your understanding, but also
sufficiently narrow so that you can address the topic in a focused, academic composition.
You will compose an academic research essay that demonstrates the context and significance of your chosen topic. This composition should be a minimum
of 1400 words and should incorporate a minimum of ten sources. This composition should be structured into three sections:
Introduction: provide a succinct overview of your research topic as outlined previously in your topic proposal.
Literature Review: provide a detailed review of academic research on this topic as outlined previously in your academic presentation.
Discussion: construct a thorough discussion of your research findings and their significance to experts within your discipline.
Purpose: This assignment will develop your ability to engage in academic research and synthesize sources. It will also familiarize you with the discourse of
your intended discipline and prepare you for future writing in this field.
Audience: The primary audience for this piece will be students in your discipline. Assume they will be familiar with the general discourse of your discipline,
but contextualize central ideas and concepts within your research so that they can follow your discussion.
