Why is it preferable to use large computers and databases in searching for individual genes, rather than testing each sequence for possible function?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. Testing for function would require too many cells.

  2. Testing for function would require knowing the species, its life stage, and its phylogeny.

  3. Testing for function would require knowing where a particular gene starts and ends and how it is regulated.

  4. Use of computer databases is intellectually less rigorous.

Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures and filtration rate across a muscle capillary wall:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc) = 25 mm Hg

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (Πp) = 25 mm Hg

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure (ΠI) = 10 mm Hg

Interstitial hydrostatic pressure (PI) = −5 mm Hg
