DNA sequencing

certainartificial molecules identical to DNA known as Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs), as well as donor DNA, to recover the genetic abnormality.Professor Egan explained that the PNAare synthetic oligonucleotide analogue, repellent of protease and nuclease degradation that clamps to the DNA close to the mutated region and stimulating DNA repair and recombination pathways in cells upon sequence-specific triplex formation. These triplex-forming PNA molecules along with donor DNA in certain…

hypothesis being tested was if HIF1α and HIF2α regulate different genes in multiple myeloma. This was tested using the cross chromatin immunoprecipitation technique, coupled with the use of genomic sequencing. This technique offers to discern the sites at which the HIF1 and HIF2 proteins are binding to the DNA, and allow to infer the likelihood that these two proteins are regulating different genes in…

3.3.1 POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is the most common DNA amplification method in molecular biology, it was invented by Kary Mullis while working in Emeryville, California for Cetus Corporation, one of the first biotechnology companies. His invention won him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993. PCR has revolutionized the field of molecular biology as it has enabled researchers to perform experiments easily that previously had been unthinkable. Before the mid-1980s…

coli DNA Introduction: What a lac operon is involved in the lactose metabolism of E. coli and it can only work when there is no glucose present to interfere with the lactose metabolism. (Khan Academy) E. coli chooses prefers glucose and other "better" sugars, so if any are present other than lactose the lac operon will not be expressed in the plasmid. (Khan Academy) A plasmid is an "independent, circular, self-replication DNA molecule" that contrasts with the more complex helical shaped DNA of…

and Holley won the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure and properties of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be made of nucleic acids arranged in a double helix.…

Genetic testing is also known as DNA testing. It utilizes laboratory methods to study genes and chromosomes, in order to detect the presence of genetic diseases or the mutant forms of genes associated with high probabilities of developing genetic disorders, to design appropriate treatment. There are different types of genetic tests: Diagnostic testing, carrier testing, prenatal testing, pharmacogenomics testing, Research genetic testing and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Families who…

Bioinformatics is a study that focuses on the collection and analysis of biological information using information from sequences of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This field focuses on how to make predictions about biological systems and analyze data to provide more insight on how living organisms function and how its genome relates to its biology. Following the determination of the insulin sequence, Frederick Sanger realized that manually comparing several sequences was impractical (Moody 2004)).…

The main goals of the Human Genome Project (HGP) were to complete an accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA pairs that made up the human genome. The project was also aimed to develop new tools that obtain and analyze data; it was also aimed to make information available to not just officials but the public as well. This is because any advances in genetics will affect individuals in society. The HGP decided to explore the consequences of genomic research through its Ethical, Legal, and Social…

leading to the successful operations of all service domains owned by geneOmbio Technologies. Advances in molecular biology techniques have contributed to better healthcare and life science research. Since the discovery of double helical structure of DNA till recently discovered human microbiome, many scientific approaches toward decoding of genetic information have been implemented. Concept of mutations…

bacteria by doing DNA or RNA analysis of the bacterium’s genome ("Conventional Bacterial Identification Methods", 2013). The 16S rRNA gene sequences provides species-specific signature sequences useful for bacterial identification ("16S Ribosomal RNA Sequencing Theory”, 2016). The 16s rRNA gene sequence uses a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a specific DNA target from a mixture of DNA molecules, which helps in the identification of bacterial colonies when comparing to sequencing…
