lives. The HGP involved the discovery of the full Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) complement in a single human somatic cell. The project purpose was to sequence this sequence of DNA so that a map of it may be produced that shows the location and arrangement of all of the base pairs present in a human being. The HGP initial goals were to: * identify all the approximately 20‚000-25‚000 genes in human DNA * determine the sequences of the 3 billion

What is Cloning? Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies. Every single bit of their DNA is identical. Clones can happen naturally—identical twins are just one of many examples. Or they can be made in the lab. Below‚ find out how natural identical twins are similar to and different from clones made through modern cloning technologies. Many people first heard of cloning when Dolly the Sheep showed up on the scene in 1997. Artificial cloning technologies have been around for much longer

DNA Aim This practical procedure allows you to amplify a 460 basepair fragment of DNA from within the control region of the mitochondrial genome. This can be done using three water baths or‚ if one is available‚ a thermal cycler (PCR machine). After it has been amplified‚ the DNA is run on an electrophoresis gel. Note: This method has been adapted from one developed by the Dolan DNA Learning Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. More details are available from the DNA Learning Center’s

Power of DNA Analysis In the world of medicine and disease there is one disease that is as well known as it is deadly: Cancer. Many people understand the severity of cancer and how it attacks the immune system and ultimately can kill a person. The war on cancer was started in 1971 by President Nixon and this set of four decades worth of study and has lead to a large amount of information being learned about the cancer genome. A new strategy has recently surfaced and is gaining ground‚ DNA analysis

The innovator’s DNA Summary This book focused directly on individual creativity in the business world and was based on a study of business innovators. The goal of the eight-year collaborative study was to put innovative entrepreneurs under a microscope and attempt to determine how they came up with their innovative ideas. In searching for answers‚ the study uncovered the origins of creativity‚ as well as the disruptive business strategies implemented in particularly innovative companies. They

The Devil Holds the Pitchfork Ref: The Casebook of Forensic Detection‚ Colin Evans Author Statement: To show DNA evidence was used to convict Colin Pitchfork. The fifteen year old girl‚ Lynda Mann‚ was found dead on the morning of November 22‚ 1983. She was located in a footpath in Narborough‚ England by a hospital porter making his way to work. She had been raped and strangled the night before‚ while headed to a friend’s house. Traces of semen showed that the murderer was a Group A secretor

Objective VS. Subjective: The Process of Examining and Comparing Fingerprints In a court of law‚ the results found in the comparison of fingerprint evidence is much more than the subjective opinion of a forensic examiner. As results are not based on personal opinion‚ but rather on an evaluation employing scientific principles to identify characteristics found on a fingerprint‚ an examiner’s opinion remains objective using knowledge and skills acquired through training‚ education‚ and experience

for all practicing molecular biologists‚ and it has served to bring molecular biology into the practice of many other fields in the biomedical sciences and beyond. The reasons are several fold. First‚ PCR provides the ultimate in sensitivity — single DNA molecules can be detected and analyzed for sequence content (Li et al.‚ 1988; Arnheim et al.‚ 1990). Second‚ it provides the ultimate in resolution — all polymorphisms‚ from single base changes to large rearrangements‚ can be distinguished by an appropriate
