Being a student in a collegial nursing environment, it is important to begin to read professional journal articles that give information on some of the most current findings about different diseases, especially on genetic research being done in those areas. This paper is a chance for you to find a genetic research study article about a disease that interests you that focuses on a specific genetic research study that has been performed in regard to the disease. Complete the following guidelines & paper must to be at least 2-3 pgs in length using Times New Roman 12 font and double spaced. Directions to get started:

First, go to the Science Daily website @ http://www.sciencedaily.com/ and find a genetic research study journal article that focuses on a SPECIFIC GENETIC RESEARCH STUDY that has been performed in the area of a disease of interest to you. Steps to find an article:

  1. Go to Science Daily site as specified above.
  2. In search bar type: genetic research followed by the name of the disease of interest to you.
  3. Then look at the list of Science Daily blog entries available about the genetic research for the disease and pick one.
  4. Go to the bottom of your chosen Science Daily blog article and find the referenced genetic research study that was used to write the Science Daily blog.
  5. You will be using the actual genetic research study article for this review paper you are writing, but copy both the reference article and the Science Daily blog article when handing in for approval. The Science Daily blog may be used in aiding in your understanding of the information found in the actual research journal article. However, the Science Daily blog article MAY NOT be used as the source of information when writing this review. If you use the blog in this way you will receive a zero for the sections that require a citation.

Actual research article must be written within the last 5 years (unless approved by instructor of a date more than 5 yrs). Student must have article choice submitted in HARD COPY for approval to instructor no later than 9/11/2020 (1 pt.). Also submit the Science Daily blog article at that time.
