Comparative Analysis of Plant Genome – An Overview Introduction Comparative genomics is used to study the similarities and differences in the structure and function of genome in living organisms. In the medical field, this information can help scientist to better understand the human genome. This allows them to develop new strategies to combat human disease. Comparative genomics is also a powerful tool to study the evolutionary relationship among organisms. We are able to identify genes that…

shown to be an effective tool for studying the complex quantitative traits. Despite of its great successes, this approach has great weakness because it only captures limited allelic diversity existing in two parental lines and also limited in low genomic resolution (Borevitz and Nordborg 2003). To address this issue, GWAS utilizing diverse germplasm collections and recombination events that have been accumulated during the evolution and domestication has been proposed (Zhu et al. 2008). Without…

completion of the PCR, the final product should be highly concentrated DNA corresponding to the gene of interest. We ran our gene of interest on gel electrophoresis to compare our gene of interest to a marker of known size to confirm the size of our genomic DNA. On the image of the gel (figure 1), the sample containing the DNA ran, but the sample containing the DNA ladder did not. As a result, an appropriate determination of the sizes cannot be made because there is no ladder to compare it to in…

Richard Hays and Ronald Green differs in many ways. Richard only passingly mentioned the benefits of Genomic Science and put more emphasis and provided more examples of the risks. He use words and sentences that appeals to our fear. He is concern of human’s inability to stop pushing the line. “Once we begin genetically modifying our children, where do we stop? If it's acceptable to modify one gene, why not two, or 20 or 200? At what point do children become artifacts designed to someone's…

1.2 Cellular DNA Damage responses, genomic instability. DNA is the blue print of life and all the information of life processes such as growth, metabolism, reproduction etc are encoded in the sequence of it. Therefore its very important to maintain the genomic integrity of this genetic material, not only to keep away defects in life processes but to pass a faithful information to the next progeny. Integrity of the DNA is usually challenged by both endogenous and exogenous agents who are capable…

technologies that will change the practice of nursing in the next decade will be genetics; genomics, less invasive and more accurate tools for diagnoses and treatment, 3D printing, robotics, biometrics and electronic health records. Health professionals will have to be skilled or trained to develop and acquire, use and integrate these emerging technologies. (Carol Houston, MSN APA) The technology of genetics and genomics (a branch of molecular biology) will help to treat those conditions that…

solution for the used if scientist that stimulate the field of genomics. They also stimulate the field of genomics, improve in science and its research and create positive impact through globally. PacBio also contribute in resolving complex genetic challenges by revolutionized the methods. PacBio tried to develop a new novel technology that is able to push the boundaries of the sequencing in order to overcome the challenges in the field of genomics. PacBio RS II is a Single Molecule Real-Time…

nursing educators, and health care providers when it comes to genetics and genomics concepts as it is a part of nursing’s present and future (Sharoff, 2015). It is necessary then that all nursing students in all academic levels will have genetics/genomics integrated in nursing curricula. The development of more AGNS will result to improved collaborations and awareness of referrals when dealing with genetics and genomics related health…

An Overview of the Determinant of the Genomic Diversity Genetic diversity provides variation in which that selection can act upon and it determines the response of population towards environmental change. Therefore, knowledge in genetic diversity is crucial for developing breeding strategies and also for the management of endangered species. Understanding the determinant genetic diversity is also essential for resolving the long-standing riddle in population genetics, the disproportionately…

In David Cyranoski’s article from 29th September, 2015 on Nature.com website , he mentioned that a famous genomics institute in Shenzhen is going to sell gene-edited miropigs as pets, and each costs $10,000 yuan (US$1,600). The customers can choose unequal coat colours and patterns of pigs through their gene arrangement subsequently. Those pigs not only can be our pets, but also were fabricated as models for human disease by using a gene-editing tool --- TALENs. Geneticists make use of TALENs to…
