    affected patients have inherited or spontaneous deletions in the dystrophin gene that disrupts translation and results in incomplete proteins. Sufferers of DMD have difficulty climbing stairs, muscle weakness in arms and neck, and progressive muscle-wasting1. It appears that error in gene expression and heredity are the two main causes of DMD. DMD, to this point, has no cure and after identifying the location of the DMD gene mutation, the goal is to restore transcription or to at least restore…

    paragraphs we will discuss what genome evolution is, how genomes are able to be compared and how the size can contribute in to that, the gene functions and expressions, applying comparative genomes and the evolution within genomes. So what is a genome? A genome is the complete DNA sequence of an organism. The Genome is a compilation of the stored DNA in genes on the…

    advantage of CRISPR is its ability to target multiple targets at once. In early 2013, heterologous expression of the CRISPR-Cas9 system and all of its parts was demonstrated in mammalian cells. The modified bacterial system was also able to insert genes at various target locations in the mammalian genome by expressing a multiple target spacer array (Cong et al., 2013). The system was expressed in mammalian cells with varying combinations of codon optimized Cas9 (spCas9). spCas9 used a modified…

    A genetically altered baby is something some people have only dreamed about, but now, it has become a reality. Scientist have discovered a way to alter human genetic traits and produce the perfect offspring. Some traits scientists have tried to alter include sex, eye color, and height, but it is still in the experimenting stage and should be possible within the next few years. Add more. Creating genetically altered babies should be prohibited. Genetically altering babies is still in the…

    (2014) conducted GWAS of 282 soybean breeding lines for resistance to SCN HG Type 0 using the USLP 1.0 SNP arrays (Hyten et al. 2010). The authors detected a significant association between markers and the known gene regions but no novel regions were detected. Han et al. (2015) identified 19 association signals significantly related to resistance to SCN HG Types 0 (race 3) and 1.2.3.5.7 (race 4) as well as over 130 new sources of SCN resistance. Among the significant…

    CRISPR Genes – A way to eradicate Autism to Cancer to Zellweger syndrome and everything in-between It was September 20th 2001. It was the day my mother would be screened if the fetus (i.e. me in my glorious self) showed an elevated risk for Downs Syndrome. A triple screen blood was performed which measured the quantities of three substances: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) which is produced by the fetus, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and unconjugated estriol which is produced by the placenta. The…

    Technology today now allows us to address the idea of cloning. Cloning is creating an identical genetic copy of an organism or a cell. The process of this is there will be three subjects A, B, and C a body cell will be taken from A, the DNA will be extracted then an egg cell will be taken from B the nucleus removed. The DNA from A is fuse with the egg cell from B the fused cell develops into an embryo when it is placed in C the surrogate and then the clone is of subject A. To get to cloning…
