The Human Genome Project is responsible for therapies for a wide range of diseases, including inherited eye diseases, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Huntington's disorders, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and non-inherited diseases such as cancer and HIV. It can also assist with common conditions in older age include hearing loss, cataracts and refractive errors in eyes, back and neck pain, osteoarthritis, diabetes, depression, dementia (including Alzheimer's Disease) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
If necessary, put your disease in with a group of similar one eg Neurodegenerative, Cardiovascular, Respiratory or Cancer (those with a genetic connection, eg breast cancer).

From Mrs Allen:
1. START EARLY
2. ASSIGNMENT BREAKDOWN
a. First 10% - General Reading (This is where your ideas are shaped, read 3-6 sources of VARIETY)
b. 10% - 40/50% - Active Notetaking (This is where you collect & collate evidence & info)
c. 40-50% - 80% - Organisation of Ideas (This is where you construct the structure of your essay, and allocate the number of words for each part).
d. 80% - 100% - Writing (This is where you write the assignment as streamlined as possible)

Google Scholar's searches are set to cover scholarly material more often than 'regular' Google. Google Scholar's searches are set to cover scholarly material more often than 'regular' Google. Read the article below on the advantages an disadvantages of using it.
TIP: To get PDFs only, type in 'filetype:pdf'. It's great!
Google Books can be very frustrating because often much of the book is missing and you are expected to purchase it to read the full content. So after you put in your search term you are interested in (eg biodiesel), and get some results up, you should then go immediately to the search box (on the left - above 'About this box') 
and type in a particular word or term you are interested in (eg CO2 emissions OR methanol) you should get a number of pages pop up. Choose one that looks useful - you should get some good results this way!
