RNA splicing

a) Francis crick- Discovered the structure of that DNA that it's shaped like a twisted ladder and understood the way it replicates. b) Rosalind Franklin- She discovered the dimension of DNA strand and that the phosphate group was on the outside of the helical structure. c) James Watson- Together with Francis they discovered the structure of DNA and that he also discovered that hydrogen bonds were the correct length and were straight. 2. All of the three scientist were interested on working on…

The folding mechanism of knotted/slipknotted protein has become a challenging question over the last two decades.(10, 89, 90, 95, 99, 100, 173-175) Understanding how those proteins fold would be a great proceeding of the field of protein folding. Recent advances on protein folding shed light on this question using both experimental and computational methods. .(10, 89, 90, 95, 99, 100, 173-175) Most experimental studies on the folding of knotted protein have been limited to bulk experiments.(84,…

In this summary response I will be talking about cloning in Brave New World and compare it too gene editing. In Brave New World the have a process called Bokanovsky’s Process which essentially is the fictional process for cloning humans. The human eggs in the story are put in to in vitro which means outside their normal biological habitat. In this world where the government controls everything it’s extremely important for them to control the number of humans. The process does not apply to the…

Pacific Biosciences is the manufacturer that develops comprehensive 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…

foreign material. When a never-before-seen virus attacks the cell, a spacer is created within the CRISPR system that stores the genetic material of said virus. If that virus or a similar one attacks again, the CRISPR DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA, where proteins are used to target sequences containing the offending material in order to destroy each genome affected by the virus and…

Sequence 2 had the protein, presenilin-2-like, Equus przewalskii . The protein is also known as PSEN2 gene. This gene helps process proteins that transmit chemical signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. When the chemical signals fire to the nucleus, they turn on genes that make for the cell to grow and mature. The specific role, presenilin is known for, is processing the amyloid precursor protein. The amyloid precursor protein is found in the brain and some tissues. Presenilin gets…

Figure 5: Semi-quantitative PCR analysis of CHOP splicing variants in plasmids and liver tissues, and CHOP exon arrangements. (A) CHOP1 mRNA contains four exons, whereas CHOP2 mRNA lacks the second exon of CHOP1. The 5 '-leader of CHOP is encoded within the first and second exons, while the coding sequence is encoded within the third and fourth exons of CHOP. (B) As expected, CHOP1 primers amplified CHOP1 transcripts at the size of 214 bp in the CHOP1 plasmid template containing the full…

Biochemistry is the “structure and function” within living organisms through chemical processes (Revier). Being able to master the subject is a driven force that grasped my attention to continue pursuing my academics through this major. My interest for the subject grew as I conducted further research to determine the benefits of having a degree in biochemistry and how it would aid me in the long runs by having a successful future. Simultaneously, I enrolled in an Introduction to Biochemistry…

In modern molecular biology and genetics, the genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA. Understanding Human Genetic Variation Genetics is the scientific study of inherited variation. Human genetics, then, is the scientific study of inherited human variation. We study genetic material due to following reasons; 1. One reason is simply an interest in better understanding…

Prokaryote DNA replication is a semi conservative, bidirectional, template driven process. The phrase ‘semi-conservative’ refers to the fact that the newly synthesised double stranded DNA is made up of one parental (existing) strand, and one newly synthesised strand. The parental duplex is not ‘conserved’ as an entity. This was proved by the Meselson-Stahl experiment by replicating E.Coli in different mediums of of different Nitrogen isotopes. The results consisted of half of normal weight and…
