If a gene had been identified using ngs, as having 50% more transcripts in the hindlimb compared to the forelimb (hindlimb = 1000 transcripts, forelimb = 500 transcripts) could this gene be playing a role in limb specification?

Why do bacteria thrive even in hostile environments

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
