Gene Therapy: The concept of gene therapy emerged in the 1970s. The basic premise of gene therapy is using DNA enclosed in a vector as a therapeutic treatment for diseases. In the decades after it was conceptualized, many clinical trials of gene therapy were developed but stalled in phase I or phase II. During the 90s, only 1% of gene therapy trials made it to phase III and none of them went past phase III. The excitement for gene therapy was reduced when a participant of a clinical trial died…

This before reading strategy allows students to activate their prior knowledge about the Holocaust and make inferences about the Holocaust and the book by examining the text without reading it. During Reading Strategy Focus of Instruction: Comprehension Reading Level 4 Objectives: The student will be able to draw relevant connections from the book to historical events. The student will be able to demonstrate the timeline of historical events in comparison to the book. ELA CCSS…

stem cell marker and as more of these are expressed, E-cadherin and P-cadherin decreases, which are epithelial cell markers.(10) The cell is then considered to be a cancer cell. These markers are located on the cell surfaces, and…

~~~Science Project~~~ Experiment 1: Materials~ 2 eggs Needle Scale Bowl Marker Question? What is the difference between weight and mass, and can two objects that have the same mass be different weights? Hypothesis The difference between weight and mass is that mass is the measurement of how much matter is in an object and it will remain constant regardless of gravity. Weight is how heavy an object is depending on the gravitational pull on the object. Step 1: Zero out the scale. Step 2:…

Genetics To Down Syndrome Genetics describes the makeup of our cells, genes, chromosomes, and phenotypes. When there is alter in a gene or a duplication of a chromosome, it can lead to a certain diseases. One of the main diseases known today from a duplication of a chromosome is Down syndrome. John Down first put a name to Down syndrome in 1866, but artifacts from Mexico and Saxon documented some cases of Down syndrome in individuals, and also some were found in paintings of the Renaissance in…

U.S National Library of Medicine, 11(58), n.p. doi: 10.1186/1471-2318-11-58 Type of study (i.e. prospective cohort): This is a cross-sectional study on co-morbidity and drug treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in northern Norway. Sample/population: The sample included people who had and did not have Alzheimer’s disease. There were 187…

Finding species-specific markers within the genomes of organisms has proven to be an important practice in determining the dividing lines between species. Much of the subject of molecular genetics involves the determination of ancestry as well as common ancestry between species. Using molecular genetics, the concept of phylogenetic species has proven to be one of the more effective methods of differentiating between the species. For example, while other species classifier methods have had…

transgenesis was to take advantage of the higher chances of homologous recombination events that would occur using this construct where the selectable marker doesn’t have a promoter and translational initiator (this lets it use the Sos1 promoter to express these genes). A safe guard to the expression of these markers is that the vector also has the cell marker or β-galactosidase of the Sos1 expression.…

Part I – Discovery 1. L.H. Snyder used by the term “Mendelian marker” to mean that any Mendelian trait that is retested can be used as a marker for a future experiment. 2. The question that Dr. Snyder will be addressing in his study is “Can PTC be used as a Mendelian marker if it is inherited?” 3. His hypothesis is if PTC taster is inherited, it can be used as a Mendelian marker. Part II- Mendelian Genetics 1. The kind of evidence that would indicate that the ability to taste PTC is…
