longevity‚ Sebastiani et al.‚ undertook a genome wide association study in 801 centenarians and 914 genetically matched healthy controls. Through this study‚ the researchers identified that 90% of the centenarians carried specific single nucleotide polymorphism clusters that can be used as genetic signatures to predict longevity in the population (Sebastian‚ Solovieff‚ Dewan‚ Walsh‚ & Hartley‚ 2012). Studies in French centenarians identified that a certain 4 allele of apolipoprotein E was less frequent

Fore population after epidemic. This article is evidence of not only balancing selection within a human population as well as the most documented case of a human prion epidemic within an isolated population but also explores wide spread conserved polymorphisms within the human species and is a model of high levels of selection leading to evolution within a human population rapidly. Prion diseases are the result of misfolded prion protein which post-translationally converts host cell prions into the

How are genetics being linked to cancer diagnosis? Your name COM/156 12/10/2011 Fung Yuen Chang How are genetics being linked to cancer diagnosis? Is it a possibility that cancer can be related to hereditary genetic factors? What are the possibilities of genetics playing a role in cancer diagnosis? Genetic research and its correlation to cancer is a topic on the forefront of many research labs today. Many cancers are being researched for their connection with just common genetic makeup

genetic alterations. Mutations are detected and localized by the presence and size of the RNA fragments generated by cleavage at the mismatches. The single strand conformation polymorphism is another method. It consist of detection of polymorphisms of human DNA by gel electrophoresis as single-strand conformation polymorphisms. It is based on the differences in the secondary structure of single-strand DNA molecules differing in a single nucleotide‚ which also is frequently reflected in an alteration
