1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Paul Notley Lynn University Middle East Respiratory Syndrome‚ also referred to as MERS-CoV‚ is a novel coronavirus that emerged in April 2012 in Saudi Arabia. The coronavirus causes severe repertory illness in humans in which nearly half of the reported cases have been fatal. Middle East Respiratory MERS-CoV has “also been shown to infect a range of human‚ primate‚ porcine‚ and bat cell lines” (Emergence of the Middle East Respiratory

the structure‚ packing‚ density‚ and arrangement of their genes on the chromosome. Prokaryotes have incredibly compact genomes compared to eukaryotes‚ mostly because prokaryote genes lack introns and large non-coding regions between each gene. Whereas nearly 95% of the human genome does not code for proteins or RNA or includes a gene promoter‚ nearly all of the prokaryote genome codes or controls something. n a prokaryote cell‚ all genes in an operon(three in the case of the famous lac operon) are

keys to both pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine . These advances allow for testing and identifying an individual’s unique genetic makeup and then comparing those differences with the population at large . Knowledge of the human genome‚ variations of the genome among individuals and variations of the encoded proteins produced enables researchers to develop medicines that address the individual needs of each patient . Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine promise to improve clinical trials

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) belongs to cucurbitaceae; one of the most important plant families. It consists of 90 genera and 750 species. Most of the vegetables and certain fruits belong to this family. Cucumber is the fourth most cultivated vegetable in the world after cabbage‚ onions and tomatoes (Shetty and Wehner‚ 2002). China is at top of the list with almost 2/3 of all world production between 2000- 2004. Turkey is at the second place with approximately 5% of total production followed by

Adenovirus infection Adenovirus infections most commonly cause illness of the respiratory system; however‚ depending on the infecting serotype‚ they may also cause various other illnesses‚ such as gastroenteritis‚ conjunctivitis‚ cystitis‚ and rash illness. Symptoms of respiratory illness caused by adenovirus infection range from the common cold syndrome to pneumonia‚ croup‚ and bronchitis. Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus
