RNA

Heart tissue was taken out from the Refrigerator and 0.1gm was weighed. Total RNA was extracted using TRIZON Reagent according to the instructions and quantitated by Micro-spectrophotometer. RNA having a ratio of A260/280 1.9-2.0 was reversely transcribed by HiFi-MMLV cDNA kit. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed on a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR system…

From what I gathered from the first video, I learned that a genome is every one of the qualities in addition to some others that make up a living thing. In the first video that I watched it pretty much just explained to us know what a genome is. Our genome is the code that cells use to know how to behave. The first human genome was brought up in 2003. It took two decades to finish and it cost over three billion dollars. Our genome is the code that cells use to know how to carry on. Cells that…

The human brain is one of many features that make our species a unique species. It is responsible for language acquisition and logic and reasoning as well as many other cognitive functions that make us unique compared to other species. This is one of the reasons scientists aim to study the brain and its evolutionary history. Scientists believe a correlation exists between these functions and the brains large size in proportion to the rest of our bodies. Fossil evidence supports this theory.…

Fish have a unique position with respect to their taxonomic and phylogenic status among vertebrates and occupy an important place in vertebrate’s genealogy. Most fish are ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary (1 – 2 ºC) as ambient temperatures change. Majority of siluroid fish are economically important for human consumption. Protein and vitamins content in fish flesh varies from high to moderate and make it as rich source of protein diet. Fishes of siluroid…

1) Alcaligenes faecalis is a Gram-negative coccobacilli that is motile, oxidase positive, catalase positive, non-spore-forming, non-fermenting, slow growing, and citrate positive obligate aerobe (Mahon et al., 2014) (Sachdeva et al., 1963). Its colony morphology is flat, thin, and rough with irregular edging (Mahon et al., 2014) and the flagella varies between the usual shape versus the curly structure, however, both shapes do not exist on the same individual bacteria (Leifson, 1960). The…

The function of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell components by FATIMA MOHIDIN Eukaryotic Cell Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and have membrane bound organelles they are multicellular cells and undertake reproduction by the process cell division known as meiosis and mitosis. There are 2 types of eukaryotic cell: plant and animal cells. They contain organelles such ribosomes, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, nucleolus, centrioles, cell membrane,…

experience, should have factored in the environment, as it is an important part to life. It has recently been studied that in the worm C. elegans, the environmental stress may cause trigger certain RNA molecules to reduce their activity of specific genes. This process of silencing certain genes, known as RNA interface, has the possibility to aid the worm in adaptation to survival, especially in changing conditions. Interestingly, the process of gene silencing persisted in future generations long…

Dr. Joseph Larkin III is an associate professor in the department of Microbiology and Cell Science at the University of Florida where he teaches Immunology. In addition to teaching, Dr. Larkin oversees multiple immunology research projects involving regulatory T cells and their involvement in autoimmune diseases including type one diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and most recently, uveitis. Dr. Larkin was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. When asked about how he became interested…

State of the Problem In its variety of forms, cancer is estimated to affect more than 14 million people per year, and is the cause the death of more than 8 million (National Cancer Institute). Despite millions of dollars of research in the field, and a concentrated effort by researchers around the globe, a panacea for cancer doesn’t exist, although much headway has been made in earlier detection and better treatment methods. Much of the difficulty in treating the disease lies in its diversity;…

Epigenetics refers to covalent modification of DNA, protein, or RNA, resulting in changes to the function and/or regulation of these molecules, without altering their primary sequences. Epigenetics has helped the field of genetics it allows scientist to alter the way genes are read and to tell if the gene is active or inactive. Epigenetics can be used for many great causes, such as preventing leukemia or stop aging in adults. The preventing of leukemia is done by the the scientist finding the…
