AQ 11/22 Perfect Paragraph

Submitted by atquang on Thu, 11/21/2019 - 16:59

The overall objective of our proposal is to create a phylogenetic tree to determine the reliability of HOXC genes as an indicator of phylogeny. By aligning the sequence, the genes will become easy to compare and allow for the creation of a phylogenetic tree, as proposed. The sequencing data can also be used to determine how conserved the HOXC gene is. By understanding the evolutionary and genetic differences of HOXC genes between different species, the function of HOXC genes, which are currently unknown, can be better understood. The creation of a phylogenetic tree will allow for the determination of reliability to use HOXC genes as an indicator of phylogeny. If the phylogenetic tree proves to be reliable, this would be a phylogenetic tree of vertebrates that can be used in order to trace the evolutionary history of vertebrates. If new species were to be found, its HOXC gene can be sequenced to determine its phylogeny accurately.

I like the way this paragraph flows, you might be able to add why the topic is so important, in other words, why should the reader be interested?

In 'If the phylogenetic tree proves to be reliable, this would be a phylogenetic tree of', avoid repeating phylogenetic tree in the same sentence.

It might be important to state what the HOXC gene codes for and why it is a reliable means of composing phylogenic trees
