This practical will consist of a series of questions which will be uncovered here.
Java is a programming language originally developed by Sun Microsystems and released in 1995. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode which can run on any Java virtual machine regardless of computer architecture. Java now forms the core of Sun's Java platform.
The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries were developed by Sun from 1995. As of May 2007, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process, Sun made available most of their Java technologies as free software under the GNU General Public License. Others have also developed alternative implementations of these Sun technologies, such as the GNU Compiler for Java and GNU Classpath.

Java in an object oriented language developed by Sun Microsystems. Java applications are normally used as bytecode, and it's platform independent. It was originally intended for use within embedded systems. It is largely based on the C# programming language.
What is Next Generation Sequencing? What implications will it have for health care and biology?
If one accepts that the fundamental pursuit of genetics is to determine the genotypes that explain phenotypes, the meteoric increase of DNA sequence information applied toward that pursuit has nowhere to go but up. The recent introduction of instruments capable of producing millions of DNA sequence reads in a single run is rapidly changing the landscape of genetics, providing the ability to answer questions with heretofore unimaginable speed. These technologies will provide an inexpensive, genome-wide sequence readout as an endpoint to applications ranging from chromatin immunoprecipitation, mutation mapping and polymorphism discovery to noncoding RNA discovery. Here I survey next-generation sequencing technologies and consider how they can provide a more complete picture of how the genome shapes the organism. DNA testing is transforming health care and medicine, but current technologies only
