and the DNA function can be deciphered through a combination of genes, proteins and transcripts. The new approach provides geneticists with the possible answers of understanding how genes interact with one another and analysing DNA sequences of organisms which are unique to biological systems. Genomics is undergoing rapid development from the analysis, mapping and sequencing of genomes to development about genome function. [Hieter and Boguski, 1997] Genomics looks at the analysis of DNA sequences
subtypes accurately. It has been identified that giving treatment according to the tumor type is more effective for the patients. Tumors of a particular type of cancer differ at the molecular level, i.e. the genetic level. The introduction of DNA microarrays in early 2000s played a very pivotal role in research on cancer classification. It is now been massively used to study cancer classification by various researchers. Different classification methods, both supervised and unsupervised, ...
1) To identify all possible genes in the region and most importantly to check whether there are genes mis- or incorrectly-annotated using sequence analyses 2) To establish the expression patterns and regulations of the genes using available microarray data. 3) And literature search of evidence for the functional properties of the genes of their homologues. The analyses will help to build an integrated picture which shows the genes in the region together with their expression profiles and functional
classes of analytes describing below: DNA chips contain a large number (up to one million) of different single-stranded DNA fragments that analysis the genetic information of a cell. These biochips are halted on the substrate surface in discrete spots. To increase sensitivity each spot contains several millions of identical oligonucleotides. The sample which needs to be tested usually labeled with a fluorescent dye and it contains single-stranded genetic chains (DNA fragments, mRNA, or cDNA). The genetic
Micro- and macro-organisms are habitually associated with interactions shaping contrasting environments between different host-microbial communities {{59 Hughes-Martiny, J.B. 2006;}}. These interactions are microbial dominated as microbes outnumber host cells by many orders of magnitude {{68 Savage, D.C. 1977;}} and provide metabolic functions lacking from the host {{69 Gill, S.R. 2006;}}. Naturally occurring populations can also include interactions between host-pathogens colonization {{16 Critzer

Chandni Shiwbodh Molecular Diagnostics Molecular Diagnostics is defined as tests which identify certain patterns in both RNA and DNA. These tests are able to identify RNA, genes, and protein sequences which play a role in diseases. These sequences may be linked to diseases which include nucleotide polymorphism, deletions, rearrangements, and many more. Molecular Diagnostics is also able to identify and multiply the presence of certain microorganisms and cells. Molecular Diagnostics provides a great
Prostate cancer or carcinoma of the prostate is a very complicated disease. Research on cancer indicates that prostate cancer is the second most diagnosed disease in the world. Moreover, splicing plays a crucial role in regulatory action on organisms’ transcriptomes. Around half of human genes have more than one splice variant. Spliced exons can seize several features that distinguish them from non-spliced ones, those features can be used to distinguish alternative from constitutive exons, transcription
insects tolerance. In case of animals the genes are usually of growth hormones. One of the most common technique used till date, is by using restriction enzymes to cut the DNA into fragments and then run on gel electrophoresis for separation according to their lengths. As we know that a single strand of plant DNA or animal DNA contain tens of thousands of genes, each working for the production of a specific protein essential for the growth and survival of the organism. PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
It is essential that human cloning is outlawed. It is salacious to perform, research, and promote these experiments on human subjects; it is neglectful, and shrewd to make the presence of this objective technology legal, let alone obtainable. Not only is human cloning hazardous and illogical, but morally incorrect and greatly dishonorable. The most alarming thought referring to human cloning is that it has the power to alter the foundation, that we as a nation, are assembled upon. What occurs after
definition of bioinformatics is a field that uses advanced information and computational techniques to solve complex problems in molecular biology. Bioinformatics uses these advanced computational techniques to manage and extract useful information form the DNA, RNA and protein sequence data being generated and stored in large databases. Certain methods for analysing genomes and protein data have been found to be extremely computationally intensive, providing the need for the use of powerful computers. In
Henrietta Lacks, who is buried in Virginia, achieved recognition and immortality without her own knowledge in the world of medicine. In 1951, Henrietta was diagnosed with cervical cancer and John Hopkins Hospital used her tissues to produce HeLa cells, the most widely used reference cells in research laboratories today1. Due to the distinctiveness of HeLa cells, they play a dynamic role in understanding medicine more in depth by allowing remarkable number of breakthroughs and aiding the society as
Histopathology and molecular pathology both fall within the medical science branch of pathology where the primary concern is the examination of tissues, body fluids, and organs to aid in the diagnosis of diseases. Histopathology favours biopsies ‘fixed’ on glass slides for examination whereas molecular pathology concentrates its efforts at a molecular and genetic level to aid in diagnosis. For: Sharing certain aspects of practice with other disciplines of pathology like clinical pathology, anatomic
lead to a breakdown in communication between the patient and the doctor (Cuticaaa, et al., 2014). There is also a privacy issue in that the patient’s genomic profile may be stored on a database for research uses and some patients may not want their DNA profile for anyone to see if it’s not for the purpose of their own treatment (Caplan, 2016). Patients may also find out things they would not want to. For example, if comparing the genetic profiles of family members to see if a disease is passed down
rapid development in NGS methods provide large sequencing data for each patient (3). Next generation sequencing technology enables generation of millions of DNA fragments in parallel which lead to produce a new era in medical genomics (2). These technologies have been involved in several studies including; RNA sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, DNA target, resequencing, Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing, MethylCap-seq and others (3). NGS have enumerous developed platforms such as illumina/Solexa
Monkeypox virus is a double-stranded DNA virus. It is a member of the genus Orthopoxvirus and the family Poxviridae. This family also includes variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, as well as cowpox virus, and vaccinia virus. Humans are not generally the primary host for any member of the Poxviridae family, though the variola virus was devastating to the human population (Likos et al., 2005). The first cases of human infections were reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1970
Cracking Your Genetic Code: A Review of Genetic Testing In Gattaca, the plot focuses on the ethics, the risks, and the emotional impact of genetic testing in the nearby future. The film was released in the 90s; yet in the present, the film does not give the impression of science fiction. Today, genetic testing is prevalent in many aspects of the scientific community. This paper will describe genetic testing, its purpose, diagnostic techniques that use genetic testing, relating Huntington’s disease
Who Saved It” written by a genetic counselor and journalist named Ricki Lewis. This book is about a child, Corey Haas who has suffered a hereditary blindness where he had a defect on his gene. As a solution for his problem, doctors injected a good DNA into his eye to replace the defect gene. Consequently, his blindness was treated and then he can see like other normal child. As for me, this is such an amazing grace and very interesting. This further sparks my determination to pursue my postgraduate
Question: Does language play roles of equal importance in areas of knowledge? The question as to if language play roles of equal importance in all areas of knowledge is a difficult one to answer. However, I will try to answer it as well as I can. An important thing we must do first is to define what language is and how we learn it. Language is the system of words or signs that people use to express thoughts and feelings to each other . There were two main contrasting theories suggested in the twentieth
