Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited, type IV palmoplantar keratoderma (Hart, et al., 2000).

If both parents are affected with PLS, there is a…

Suppose we have a certain segment of a DNA molecule ,a gene for example that we want to amplify ,that is make many identical copies of that gene of interest, one way is to basically take that gene to integrate it into a bacterial plasmid to place that recombinant plasmid into a bacterial cell and to allow that bacterial cell to divide many times and eventually make many copies of that gene of interest. The problem with this particular method is that it is not only time consuming and not only is…

There are a lot of essays about whether or not people agree with what is being done about illegal immigrants in the United States, but what Mark Krikorian wrote in his article The Perpetual Border Battle are things that cannot be argued or miss interpreted. Krikorian based his whole essay around facts and statistics, which to some might not be the most entertaining piece to read. It is very effective in getting his point across in a way that cannot be argued. Mark Krikorian’s article The…

When bats come to mind, one would generally associate them with haunted or dark environments, but the main reason why bats are feared has to do with their ability to act as reservoirs for pathogens that cause infectious diseases in humans. Reservoirs of pathogens are essentially places where the pathogen is able to grow and accumulate over time. The reservoir and the pathogen have a…

Did you know that 32 percent of black people killed by an officer this year was unarmed? Then follows white people with 15 percent, hispanics and latinos with 25 percent, and standing fairly next to blacks is Native American? In a assay published by The Guardian there are other facts, for example for every one thousand person that is killed, only one officer is convicted of a crime (The Guardian). This is a recurring issue happening among us everyday, which defeats the whole purpose of the bill…
