my knowledge of biomedical sciences excites me. The mammalian genetics Ph.D. program at the Sackler School in collaboration with The Jackson laboratory would best help me achieve my goals. While completing an undergraduate degree in cellular and molecular biology at the University of Rhode Island, I have worked in the laboratory of Dr. Niall Howlett investigating the biochemical properties of Fanconi anemia, an inherited bone marrow failure disorder resulting from a defect in a specific DNA…
Due to the tidal schedules and the fact that these species are in the inter-tidal zone, the C. coronatus specimens were collected from Zeyton Park of Qeshm Island (location: N 26055.631; E 056015.209). Extraction conopeptide extraction was performed by venom ducts isolation from the cone snails on ice, then cold water and acetonitrile 40%, which completely deoxygenation was added and slowly homogenized in a homogenizer (model Silent crasher, Heidolph, Germany), in ꒼ 16000 rpm for 5 minutes…
Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick unraveled the mystery of molecular biology. James Watson and Francis Crick have significantly improved the world with their discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA. The prodigious work they accomplished in their lives has had a profound impact on modern science. James Watson and Francis Crick deserve to be honored among the list of 100 influential Americans put out by The Atlantic publication. James Watson and…

type 1 is based mainly on clinical findings which meet the diagnostic criteria for Neurofibromatosis 1 which was developed by the National Institutes of Health. Since Neurofibromatosis 1 is caused by heterozygous pathogenic modifications in NF1, molecular testing is rarely needed for diagnosis, and is only useful for certain individuals. The diagnostic criteria for Neurofibromatosis 1 is: 1 they must have six or more café-au-lait macules which are, for prepubescent individuals over 5mm in…
To accurately understand the effects of GMO’s on the environment, it is important to first understand what a GMO is and how it changes the identity of the organism. A GMO is a genetically modified organism, this means that the genes of one specific organism are extracted and implanted into a new organism, or that the DNA has been altered and modified (live science). According to conventional breeding, we know that the parents of the individual both give half of the genetic material within the…
Research Question: How does the mass (g) of soap in the Extraction solution affect the mass of DNA extracted (g) from kiwi? Aim: To see how the mass of soap in the extraction solution affect the mass of DNA extracted from a kiwi. Background Research: DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell. For this experiment, the main goals is to break apart the plant matter, dissolve the membranes of the cell and extracting the DNA found in the nucleus . To extract DNA, we would need a kiwi as DNA exists…
MSA University, faculty of pharmacy, Bio chemistry department. Course code PB301 Nucleotides Student name: ID: Under supervision of DR: Teaching assistant Structure Nucleic acids are polymers consist of units called nucleotides. These mononucleotide units react together by intermolecular dehydration reactions that create phosphate ester bonds. Those reactions are either, catalyzed or specialized enzymes. The nucleotide units are created by smaller types of components. Each nucleotide…
Different protein has different molecular weight, net charges, and functions partly because they contain different amino acid components. Hence, we would expect the pI value to vary from one protein to the other. Lysozyme is one example of proteins. Its molecular weight is of 16.23865 kD. It is composed of largely of alanine residues, which is a hydrophobic amino acid. Although alanine does not affect…
My intended STEM major that I choose to study in college is biology. I choose to major in biology because I found it fun and interesting and also because it is something that I needed to have a good understanding of if I plan to have a career in the medical field. I wanted to major in biology because I enjoyed biology in my sophomore year and it was one of the few classes that I was excited about. Although it's going to be harder and more complex in college,it will interesting and a new…
