Stem cell transplantation has been used, yet the long-term outcome is unknown. Although this is not considered genetic engineering it appears to be the closest mechanism used for this syndrome. Ideally, because this is a hereditary disease, laboratory research…

with determination because they knew that the answer was the key to life so. They began by using a model building approach to try and find out the structure of the DNA molecule. They needed how the DNA transmitted information from parents to daughter cells. They failed their first attempt but their second attempt was successful that they were celebrated for their hard work by a Nobel Price. From their success they then constructed the double helix strand model with all the nitrogenous bases…

mucolipidosis type IV” discussed the impacts of TRMPL1 on MLIV. Lysosomes are important in maintaining healthy cells, however, with the absence of lysosomal TRP channel TRPML1 then the lysosomal pH becomes more acidic because of the calcium leakage; hence, this makes lysosomes more sensitive to fusing, and due to being near exocytosis regulating secretory granules in polarized secretory cells, phagocytosis occurs between the two organelles to create a larger organelle. This enlargement fusion…

To begin with, opponents will claim that people are against the cloning process by saying it is unethical and immoral due to how it controls the lives of animals and its level of involvement with animals reproductive systems. According to the website article “Ethics”, several religions, such as Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists, believe cloning is unethical due to how similar it is to “playing God” as well as the “greater level of involvement and interference with animals’…

Could scientific advancements such as stem cell research cure all of the world’s deemingly incurable diseases? This highly speculated theory can’t be pursued as much as desired, due to stem cell research being deemed ‘immoral’. Although Morals and ethics are an important part of science, there are several possible advancements science could make if said morals were voided; Such as stem cell research, more specific knowledge of the human body, and even overall human health. One of the the most…

Introduction Information processing is crucial in all fields of science. In molecular biology, the central dogma, first devised by Francis Crick, is a classical backbone of living cells to essentially perform the processes from cell division to death through the DNA, RNA, and protein information ways. More specifically, the central dogma defines the transfer of sequence information during DNA replication, transcription into RNA, and translation into amino-acid chains forming proteins. It also…

(Demain 1981). These micro organism live in a highly diverse environment ranging from hot springs to deep ocean sediments. In the hyper diverse environment where one can find a specialized and unique biological niche is the intracellular space between cells of higher plants acts as suite and supports the growth of microbes and the one which grows there is called as endophytes (Strobel and Daisy 2003).  Endophytes The word endophyte literally means “In the plant” (Gr. endon = within; phyton =…

daughter strands of DNA have been produced, it is time to proofread and repair the DNA sequence. This process is so important because any mistake in DNA replication can result to DNA mutation and will lead to various genetic diseases such as sickle cell anaemia, Huntington’s disease and many more (Cooper, 2000). Thus, the accuracy of DNA replication cannot be attributed solely to the specificity of the base pairing. According to Khan Academy (2017), to avert the mistake from happening, an enzyme…

God’s work is evident in DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid in our cells is very similar to an intricate computer program. Binary code is made up of 1’s and 0’s, similarly DNA is made up of A,T,G, and C. They are arranged and lined up in a sequence, and the order in which they are placed instructs the cell’s actions. Although DNA is passed down, it has distinct characteristics that make it yours. This is the reason why when there is a crime scene and your DNA is found, they know exactly who you are…

this process, we may be changing every cell in their bodies forever. While in the long run this process will be perfected. It is far from there now and fixing one problem may create another. Although CRISPER/CAS 9 is often precise, it has been known to cut the wrong strand of DNA leading to a whole new problem. The main subject of debate is whether or not to allow germ-line gene editing. Germ line editing is altering the genome in the sperm or egg cell. This provides the ability to change…
