Essays on Gene

There has been always a fascination for drawing some sort of connection between the family members. If it is a joint family then the fun in making them doubles. The multiple numbers of connections, their relationships, names and everything makes it an exciting activity for…

Introduction: Genetics as a phenomenon was discovered in the late 19th century. This can be considered as quite a late discovery in comparison to other medical advancements such as general anaesthesia which can be seen throughout recorded history around the world. Genes are the main…

SSRs are consisting of 1 to 6 bp tandem repeats (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra and penta-, hexanucleotides). They are found throughout all genomes including prokaryotes and eukaryotes (Li et al., 2004; Thiel et al., 2003). They are also known as simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs;…

ABSTRACT Genome wide analysis of haploid yeast knockout mutants with phenomics applications which plays important role in sensing the stress caused by environmental perturbations and allowed the identifications of those phenotypes which adapt to environmental challenge. INTRODUCTION Phenomics evaluation of individuals carrying novel mutation represents…

The quest for introducing the specific changes in the DNA sequence began when DNA was discovered. DNA is the building block of all life in every organism. DNA is made up of two polynucleotide strands where the two strands spiral together to form a double…

Abstract: Gene therapy is the introduction of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in which lead to disease development. There are two overarching forms of gene therapy; Germ Line which results in permanent change and elimination of disease inheritance and…

Tobias et al. (2017) looked into the effects pressure has on the DNA deposited. They used polycarbonate boards that were soaked in 25% bleach for 20 minutes and rinsed with deionised water. The board was then UV-irradiated for 5 minutes on each side to remove…

Genome editing is the modification of a specific DNA sequence, within a cell or organism. It has been around since 1970 but only in the recent years have scientists discovered technologies which allow them to precisely cut and edit DNA. Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats…

What is DNA? DNA, properly named Deoxyribonucleic acid, is within all humans. DNA is a three-part system. The first part is deoxyribose sugar, which is where we get the beginning, deoxyribo. The second part is nucleic. The nucleic is the location of the DNA. Lastly,…
