Section 1


Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.

Outlining the Carbon Storage Program in the United States. http://fossil.energy.gov/programs/sequestration/overview.html


Section 2


Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.

A specific form of carbon sequestration outlined. Mg2SiO4 (Olivin) + 2CO2 -> SiO2 + 2MgCO3http://www.esc.ethz.ch/research/efficientconversion/cotwo/co2projects


Section 3


Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.


A yeast artificial cloning system in a plasmid allowing for recombination targeted cloning of a gene.The DNA flanking the gene(s) of interest are from linearized plasmids that contain targeting segments that are homologous to the termini of the DNA segment that is to be cloned. http://www.microbio.uab.edu/bedwell/Lectures/reading.pdf

Conclusion


Overall paper length should be 3,000 words, with at least 3 figures.
