CRISPR stand for: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat. The CRISPR is repeat spacer array contain a series of short direct repeats interspaced with short sequence which had been detected in the genome of many bacteria and archaea. The CRISPR method is based on the natural defense system used by bacteria to protect themselves from invading viruses. When the DNA of virus detected by bacterium, the CRISPR RNA as a guide RNA which contain a sequence, match to the invading virus…

My art I created for the Venus flytrap was created on Photoshop in order to properly illustrate the various characteristics of the carnivorous plant. Originally, I was going to paint the piece for this project, but over the course of the semester, I have been extensively learning the ins and outs of Photoshop in my Digital 1 class, and I decided to switch my project over to digital media. When I first sketched out my idea for this project, I created a very simplistic view of the flytrap catching…

Pediatric cancer is among the leading causes of death for children today. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "the most prevalent cancers seen in childhood are leukemia’s and brain and central nervous system cancer. Within the United States, these cancers account for the highest incidence and death rates among children today" (2014). Research shows genetic factors play a significant role in causing a variety of pediatric cancers. This paper will provide research and…

1.3.3 Lipid oxidation While not a direct outcome of proteinaceous compounds, aldehydes such as hexanal and (E)-2-nonenal have been attributed to the oxidation of lipid components present in the raw material (Aaslyng et al., 1998b). They are often present in much higher concentrations in enzyme hydrolysates and have been correlated to beany off-odours described in numerous literature. Solina et al. (2005) compared the volatile components of soy protein isolate (SPI) and acid-hydrolysed soy…

August 22, 2014 Dr. Caryn Ito Associate Scientist Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research Ottawa Hospital Research Institute Ottawa, ON Dear Dr. Ito: Enclosed is my work-term report entitled Summer 2014 Work-Term Report: My experiences as CO-OP student working in the Ito/Stanford Lab at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. It is a description of the workplace, sepsis and the Ito/Stanford Lab’s sepsis project, my role in the project, and the skills that I have obtained during this placement…

Genetic transformation is the process in which a gene from one organism inserts itself into a different organism thus changing that organism’s genetic makeup, “Genetic transformation literally means change caused by genes and involves the insertion of a gene into an organism in order to change the organism’s trait.” Abraham, Anup.2016. Bacterial Transformation. Biology 281 Conceptual Approach to Biology for Majors I. Arizona State University. Hayden-McNeil. In this experiment, bacteria will be…

Study of the brain is significant in gaining insights on its structural and functional design and mechanisms which help explain the cause of various existing neurological and psychiatric diseases (Kotter, 2001). Consequently, the histological study of the nervous system and its components which underlies the understanding of the brain forms the basis and foundation of neuroscientific research (Annese, 2012). Important components of the nervous system include the spinal cord which consists of…

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) are two very widespread techniques for examining various properties of substances in many fields of study. These fields can range from biology to chemistry to geology and several others (5). Both work by using the electromagnetic properties of the ways that electrons travel and interact with other atoms. Because electrons have a shorter wavelength of motion and a much higher energy than light, electron microscopy has a…

IC.3. Specific Aims: Specific Aim1: Role of NK cells and neutrophils at different disease stages of MmuPV1 infection Rationale: The role of innate immune cells in HPV-associated cancers has been investigated in human studies (55). However, how these cells fight against papillomavirus infection at different disease stages remains unclear (8). We recently established persistent mucosal infection in immunocompetent heterozygous (Foxn1nu/+) NU/J mice. When compared with immunocompromised homozygous…

Introduction Clinical laboratories have relied historically on phenotypic methods (i.e. culture and biochemical tests) to identify microorganisms. This can be time consuming task especially with slow growing organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Molecular methods are now well established in the diagnosis of infectious disease. . (Harwood 2012). For the purpose of this essay I will give a brief overview of both traditional and molecular methods that re used today. I will focus on the pros…
