Genome

Human Genome project was an international research program that was able to map out all of the gene locations of human DNA (“An Overview of the Human Genome Project”). This DNA map can be thought of as an instructional guide to how a human develops and functions. Knowing every base pair and amino acid gave scientists a look at which locations on the DNA were causing certain genetic diseases. This information helped develop new treatments and research in genetic counseling. The Human Genome…

Alejandro Candelario SFSU ID:916829191 Biology 100 10/14/16 Should genetically modified foods be labeled? Should genetically modified foods be labeled? They use GM on plants to grow our food. This is issue is very important because people should be to know what’s in the food they eat. They say the crops are environmentally safe and practically the same thing as an organic plant. For that reason they don’t believe GM foods should be labeled and consumers shouldn 't know. It has a very big…

More recent studies on the altering of human genomes in embryos has been conducted in China but some people believe that, “…the attempt to genetically alter a human embryos genome…stepped over an ethical boundary that many scientists and ethicists say should never be crossed” (Adams). Ethical or unethical, the research is still being done, and some countries are…

negative RNA genomes (Bourmakina and García-Sastre, 2005). Influenza is then broken down further to three categories; A, B, or C, which is determined by the antigenic differences in their structural components nucleoprotein and matrix protein (M1) (Bourmakina and García-Sastre, 2005). Both nucleoproteins and MI proteins are crucial to the survival of the virus. In Influenza A’s RNA, it’s genomes call for 9 structural and 2 nonstructural proteins (Noda, 2011). In Influenza B’s RNA, it’s genomes…

extinct creatures are more closely related to Asian elephants than to African elephants, the scientists established, that the three species departed within a short period of time. Scientist reconstructed bone fragments to create the mitochondrial genome of the mammoth (6). The mitochondrial DNA was passed from mother to offspring allowing the lineage of the species to be traced. This discovery revealed that woolly…

bear and brown bear separated. Making a dependable time frame for when the polar bear emerged as a new species and how fast new adaptations to intense environments can occur in a large mammal. The population genomic formation evaluates the nuclear genomes of polar bear and brown bear populations. By doing so the researchers estimated when polar bears and brown bears diverged. They gather demographic history of the polar bear and brown bear to make it clear on what happened after they diverged.…

to the head. Once this is complete smaller extremities are added to the tail, for example, in the case of the T4 phage, its tail fibers. Phages remain in the bacteria as other phages are produced concurrently. Digestive enzymes encoded in the phages genome are eventually activated and transcribed, which causes the lysis of the host bacteria. This releases the newly assembled phages into the environment, each of which can infect a new host bacteria cell. T2, T4 and lambda phages are common lytic…

Daniel Kraft's presentation," Medicine's Future? There's an App for that," was presented in front of a TED talk audience in April of the year 2011. It has been almost seven years now since his presentation, but his topic is still very relevant to this day. Through his presentation Kraft wanted to inform his audience about the new technological advances that are innovating the medical field. Throughout his presentation he put an emphasis on the exponential growth of new technologies and how they…
