RURAL AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: CONTRIBUTION FROM SOCIAL WORK TO THE LIVESTOCK SECTOR IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF CIRCASIA AND FILANDIA OF THE DEPARTMENT OF QUINDÍO, COLOMBIA

Social Work contributes significantly to making visible the need for the livestock sector to assume processes of associativity and integrate the family in the different links of the productive chain as a point of social balance. This manuscript addresses the importance of promoting associativity and competitiveness scenarios, considering the need to implement agricultural technological tools that generate added value to dairy production and favor participation in local, national and international economies. The research involved: the Approach and characterization of the producers of two associations, the Association of Milk Producers of Circasia (hereinafter APROLACIR); Association of Agricultural Producers of Filandia (hereinafter ASOPROAGRO); Design of the technological application. In this sense, the R + D + I process (Research + Development + Technological Innovation) made it possible to consolidate direct participation with the population and the activities involved in the production chain

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead
