1 Biotechnology provides an enabling environment where the immune systems can be studied through sensitive diagnostic tools. Further, the techniques employed can detect diseases either infectious or inherited at an early stage. They produce immunogenic proteins or vaccines to prevent the diseases CITATION Wue11 \l 1033 (Wu et al., 2011).
2 The SNP markers or micro-arrays screen the chromosomes through a person’s DNA. The markers can identify disease-causing allele. Since each SNP differs in DNA composition (nucleotide), any irregularity in SNP representation would result in the disease-causing gene. An example of SNP detected disease is celiac
3 The types of sequence mutation include the insertion mutation that changes the DNA base number by adding another piece of DNA. Missense also occurs due to a change in a DNA base pair leading to amino acid substitution, while deletion takes place during the elimination of a DNA base CITATION Wue11 \l 1033 (Wu et al., 2011).
