In 2001, it was possible to draft 18-year old players, and the Washington Wizards chose one of them, the infamous Kwame Brown, with the first overall pick.
In fact, it should be possible to draft the provision such that it would raise sufficient dollars to provide meaningful aid to those community colleges that are doing the most to help students from working families – such as creating tax credit bonds for community colleges (yes, free tuition at community colleges – imagine that).
If Wikipedia can assemble nearly 6m entries in 100 languages with just five employees, why would it not be possible to draft "wikipolicy" through a similar process, one that would then be voted on by elected representatives?
From the short overlapping sequence fragments obtained, it is possible to generate draft genome sequences using various algorithms developed for de novo sequence assembly [ 5- 7].
It is possible to start with a draft specification where some choices can be made and fixed.
With the aid of bioinformatic techniques, such as a reference guided assembly, it is possible to assemble a useful draft genome where microsatellite loci within UTR's of known genes and SNPs with known chromosomal position can be identified.
We have demonstrated that it is possible to significantly improve a draft mammalian genome with a modest amount of additional NGS, a new genome assembler [ 9], consideration of gene contiguity, full use of all mapping data and careful annotation.
Nowadays, it is possible to de novo assembly a draft genome of a species in several months [ 15].
Throw a dart at any round-by-round list of any N.F.L. draft, and it is possible to come up with players selected back to back and discover diverse career paths.
Even without a draft genome, it is possible to design studies using genomic techniques at moderate costs such as RAD (McCormack et al. 2013), but this requires better quality DNA and genotyping by sequencing randomly amplified regions using protocols akin to AFLP (Parchman et al. 2012).
