A 45-year-old patient presents with a family history of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). The oncologist wants to test the patient for pathogenic variants specifically in BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CHEK2, and ATM — a panel of five well-established cancer predisposition genes. Cost efficiency and fast turnaround are priorities, as hundreds of samples will be processed per month. Which NGS application is most appropriate for this use case? A) Whole Genome Sequencing B) Whole Exome Sequencing C) Targeted Re-Sequencing D) Amplicon Sequencing

A square wire loop 32 cm on each side is initially in a 0.75 T magnetic field. The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the field. The magnetic field is turned off, decreasing the field strength smoothly to 0 in a short time interval. It’s determined that 0.57 J of energy are dissipated during the turn-off interval. What is the resistance of the wire?
