Control Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Genetic engineering can: cure inherited diseases, modify plants so that they may fight pollution and make bigger/faster growing fruits and vegetables, make cats to glow in the dark, and cows that pass less gas. There are both pros and cons to genetic engineering. With that being said, society wants to know should it be controlled by law. In…

condition caused by a DNA abnormality.” ( www.google.com) Abnormalities can be small as a single-base mutation in just one gene , or they can involve the addition or subtraction of entire chromosomes. Genetic disorders are quite rare but still do occur at times. Some of the disorders may or may not heritable, passed down from the parents’ genes. Genetics disorders may vary. Non-heritable disorders, not received from parents are caused by mutations and/or changes to the DNA. Genetic disorders…

DNA ISOLATION INTRODUCTION: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolation is an extraction process of DNA from various sources. Methods used to isolate DNA are dependent on the source, age, and size of the sample. Despite the wide variety of methods used, there are some similarities among them. In general, they aim to separate DNA present in the nucleus of the cell from other cellular components. Isolation of DNA is needed for genetic analysis, which is used for scientific, medical, or forensic purposes…

In this article, foeniculum vulgare is assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity. They used 27 phytopathogenic bacterial species and 2 myropathogenic bacterial species. A significant antibacterial activity is determined by agar diffusion method and reported that foeniculum vulgare essential oil is useful for natural bacterial to control of bacterial disease of plant and seed mainly in organic agriculture. In day today life people used to smoking, poor diet maintenance…

(Scupin&DeCorse 2012). Mutations are alterations of genetic material at the cellular level. They occur spontaneously during the cell replication process, or they can be induced by environmental factors such as radiation (Scupin&DeCorse 2012). This means that the DNA sequence changes for every human which then changes the genotype and phenotype for…

Consequences of Antigen-antibody Binding:- Interaction of antigen and antibody is a bimolecular association and it never lead to an irreversible chemical modification in either the antibody or antigen. The association between antigen and antibody includes various non-covalent interactions between the antigenic determining factor (epitope) of the antigen and the…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Since time immemorial microorganisms have played a significant role in the life of mankind owing to the production of the myriad enzymes and secondary compounds that they synthesize (Demain 1981). These micro organism live in a highly diverse environment ranging from hot springs to deep ocean sediments. In the hyper diverse environment where one can find a specialized and unique biological niche is the intracellular space between cells of higher plants acts as suite and…

Methylation is a key biochemical process that is essential for the proper functioning of almost every system in your body. It occurs billions of times per second; it helps repair your DNA on a daily basis; it controls homocysteine (an unhealthy compound that can damage blood vessels); it allows the recycling of molecules necessary for detoxification; and it helps maintain mood and keep inflammation under control. To maintain the proper functioning of methylation you need an optimal level of…

We have recently published DeNovo, a prototype model for predicting virus-host protein-protein interactions (PPIs). All previous research was focused around predicting HIV-human interactions for lack of data for the other viruses. DeNovo is the first model to allow predicting the interactions between human and any virus, even if that virus has no known interactions with human. In DeNovo-II, the output of this deliverable, we developed the prototype DeNovo to a full working prediction model…

1. ABSTRACT: A total of 552 serum samples of sheep, goats and cattle from different localities at Assiut governorate, Egypt were screened for qualitative analysis of the BTV antibodies using a commercial competitive ELISA (cELISA) kit. The results showed an overall percentage of BTV positive sheep, goats and cattle serum samples were 41.86%, 24% and 85.42% respectively. A highest percentage of seropositivity was found in Arab El- Awamer farm(100%), followed by Abnoub( 63. 64%), Sedfa(11.…
