Genes are the building blocks of life. They uniquely define each and every one of us‚ from our hair color to our ability to fight disease. For the past few decades‚ the study of genetics has given scientists an ability that we as a species never had before-- the ability to directly modify our genetic makeup. With this scientific breakthrough‚ the possibilities are endless with real world implications. On a darker note‚ this also means that genetic modification has the ability to adversely affect

Unit 2 M3 Justifying the key features in a specialist and not specialist lab Lamina Flow Laminar air-flow systems have been used by biological industries to control contamination by dust and other microorganisms which can affect the reliability of precision parts. Laminar flow units consist of ultrahigh-efficiency filters which are surrounded by a cabinet or a hood. The air stream which travels at extremely high speeds‚ moves in parallel patterns so that the cleanliness of the air is independent

December 9‚ 2010 Genetic Engineering Science has been a key factor in discovering new ways to improve the quality of life. Genetic engineering‚ also known as genetic modification‚ has been a scientific breakthrough in discovering ways to genetically modify organisms as well as the creation of genetically modified foods. In this world‚ there are many countries that are struggling with ever-pervasive dry spells and old and novel pests. In this world‚ there are many peoples that are born with

Designer Babies “Gerber may have thought of it first decades ago‚ but at least 50 medical centers today… could claim the motto ‘babies are our business’” (Moira). Throughout history‚ there have been countless improvements and advancements in technology throughout the medical field. Most of these technologies have proven to be successful and productive‚ although some technologies haven’t led to be as helpful. One invention on the horizon in genetics that will add yet another technological failure

Genetically Modified Plants‚ Innovation at its finest By Liiban Hersi Genetically modified (GM) plants have been a topic of controversy for decades. Arguments have been made about their effect on ecosystems and the human body‚ and the positives that they yield such as an improved shelf life‚ and improved nutrients. However it is clear that with a growing population in dire need of more food sources‚ GM plants are necessary. In addition to supplying an increasing demand in food‚ GM plants also

Advantages and disadvantages of Bioremediation Advantages 1) Bioremediation is a natural process. 2) It is cost effective. 3) Toxic chemicals are destroyed or removed from environment and not just merely separated. 4) Low capital expenditure. 5) Less energy is required as compared to other technologies 6) Less manual supervision. Disadvantages 1) The process of bioremediaiton is slow. Time required is in day to months. 2) Heavy metals are not removed. 3) For insitu bioremediation

Genome editing technology that manipulates DNA freely has been receiving much attention in recent years. Among them‚ Crispa CAS 9 (CRISPR / CAS 9) is supposed to be a winner of the Nobel prize in the past few years. In fact‚ the discovery that was the basis of this technology was done by Professor Yoshinaga Ishino (then a researcher at the Institute for Microbiological Diseases‚ Osaka University) of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences‚ Kyushu University. Mr. Ishino found the repeating sequence
