The Process of Ligation, Transformation, and Isolation of EGFP cDNA Into pET-41a(+) By Using Miniprep, Restriction Digest, PCR, and Bioinformatics To Ultimately Create Recombinant Expression Plasmids. INTRODUCTION: Scientists in this day and age are now able to change DNA and create recombinant DNA, which is a huge indication of great possibilities for the future of genetics. The goal of these lab experiments was to be able to create recombinant DNA with the insert of egfp gene. EGFP also…

Boyd, Benarroch-Gampel et al. 2012). A major hindrance towards development of therapies against pancreatic ASC is that no unique molecular signature has been identified for this class of pancreatic tumors. Although KRAS and TP53 are altered in pancreatic ASC (Brody, Costantino et al. 2009), the same genes are also abnormal in other forms of pancreatic cancer. The molecular mechanism that promotes pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma is unknown. The main objective of this proposal is to identify…

Recently, scientists in the UK have been given the green light to start research on editing the DNA of a human embryo. The ability to unzip defective genes and replace them with nondefective copies of genes has sparked a huge debate on the ethics of human gene editing. In this paper, I will briefly explore the procedure of gene modification using the editing tool CRISPIR/Cas 9, the exciting possibilities of successfully using this method, and debate several ethical concerns that have arisen due…

essential tool to assess the genomic changes. Based on the results of SKY and aCGH analyses, representative CTC cultures will be subjected to mutation screening in CTC, CTD-PDX and biopsy materials by whole genome sequencing using NGS for comprehensive molecular profiling of abnormalities at the nucleotide level. NGS data will be transferred to Palanisamy, who will carry out biostatistics and bioinformatics analysis. Given the unbiased nature of NGS analysis, we anticipate identifying new…

INTRODUCTION Genetically modified organisms are a very controversial topic around the world. Primarily in the United States the debate is over whether they are safe as well as economically feasible to produce. There are many ways to look at this topic. First one must understand what a genetically modified organism is. After that, one must understand the advantages and disadvantages these organisms play. There are many advantages and disadvantages to genetically modified organisms. Some of the…

Labeling Genetically Modified Foods(GMOs) How many genetically modified foods does the average person put into their body every day? Unfortunately, many people don’t even know what GMOs are so they also don’t know that it is entering their body and can cause damage. This process started in the mid-1900s but didn’t get approved until the 1980s so it has had its course so far. At times it is very difficult to tell a GMO from a regular, healthier version of an organism but it’s like this because…

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…

GMO Labeling: A Path Toward Food Transparency Imagine being transported back in time to 1955. Inside a family run grocery store, there are isles of canned vegetables and soups. Even more shelves were lined with multicolored boxed cereals, bottles of soda pop, and various soaps. As creative as each product’s label appeared, none of them contained nutritional information, ingredient lists, or allergy warnings. A consumer had little more than their own taste buds to guide them…

experiment, the molar mas of the chemical used for combustion in a lighter will be determined by using several methods. A flask will be filled to its max capacity and then filled with that gas. After that, the ideal gas law will be used to find mm (the molecular mass of a substance). The equation will be changed to mm=gRT/PV instead of the usual PV=nRT. There are several gas laws exhibited in this experiment. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures allows us to determine the pressure of the gas by…
