	#* Out of all the databases, I really liked SGD. It was the most straightforward database and it really covered everything that I needed to know about the CMR2 gene. It also had more visuals and categories that I could easily follow. I also liked how it gave a brief description of the findings in addition to an abstract from the article because it really helped me to narrow down which articles would help me in gathering information. I also liked how for the phenotype section, there was a graphical representation of all the genes that I could learn about, which is how we chose our gene.

		+	I liked the quote “You, using a pen and paper, can do anything a computer can.” As someone who is quite intimidated by computer science and code, the quote was quite empowering because I had built a wall between my understanding of what computers do and my own capabilities as an intellectual.
		+
		+	===2.What is something from the first two sections that you need further explanation of or that you want to know more about?===
		+	While I understand that each programming language contains its own algorithms to perform coded functions, I am still unclear as to how exactly these langauges are created to begin with.

		+	I appreciated the NCBI website the most because it has multiple databases that allow you to search for not only genes but proteins as well. This is very convenient when trying to decipher the amino acid sequence of a protein that a particular gene codes for.

-I am familiar with all of the terms and concepts that were explained from the first two sections, so I believe all of the sections seems to make sense to me and I do not necessarily need any further explanation of any particular concept. However, I thought that the distinction that the author made between mathematicians and computer science was extremely interesting. It seems like mathematics plays much more of a role in fundamental computer science nowadays, with programs increasingly utilizing "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence" (read: extremely intense mathematics) in order to predict certain actions or to male things faster.

		+	#* “Coders are people who are willing to work backward to that key press.”
		+	#** I resonated with this quote because I respect all the computer scientists in our world. Without coders, we would not be as technologically advanced as we are today. When I am using a computer, I never think about the coding that goes behind it since everything is computed so quickly. After reading this article and seeing this quote, I definitely have more respect for coders since they are the ones who put their time and effort into being the behind the scenes people to allow us to have computers today.

I liked the Ensembl database the least because it had several grey headers in the side table of content that made it seem like it had less information than the other databases.
