Bacteriophage is a term that means bacteria eater‚ it describes the agent’s ability to kill bacteria. Bacteriophages can infect and create more copies of itself inside of a bacterial host which is why they are considered pathogenic phages (Jassim et al‚ 2014). Overall‚ Bacteriophages are one of the most ordinary and unique organisms in the global sum of all ecosystems that can be used to make the world a healthier place to sustain human life. In today’s society the overuse of antibiotics

“Evil is just a word. Under the skin‚ it’s simple pain.” – Eleanor Lamb. This quote perfectly describes the dilemma posed by many villains‚ notably Lambda. Lambda is the primary antagonist in the game “Tales of Graces ƒ”‚ but his story and character contradict the vile connotations that come with the label of “antagonist.” When one has undergone so many painful experiences‚ is it not understandable for them to lash out? Even if the response is excessive or dramatic‚ the character can still be sympathized

I lost my trust in one of my closest friends. Afterwards‚ I always wanted to be by myself and I did not want to make any new friends. There were numerous people who came into my life and left. One day‚ someone told me that I should join Kappa Phi Lambda because sisterhood was one of the three pillars. She told me that every sister would always be there for me when I have my ups and downs. When I walked into the doors for the 1st GIM‚ I felt extremely welcomed by the sisters. There were numerous

Lambda DNA Amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Introduction/ Background* Since its introduction in 1985‚ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a powerful tool in molecular genetic analysis. Today‚ it is used for applications such as cloning‚ analysis of DNA from ancient specimens‚ and analysis of human DNA for forensic applications. PCR is a test-tube DNA replication system for making many‚ many copies of‚ or amplifying‚ a defined segment of DNA. Using PCR‚ a selected target

1. Plasmids Plasmids are closed circular‚ double-stranded‚ extrachromosomal DNA molecules which occur naturally in bacteria‚ yeast‚ and some higher eukaryotic cells‚ and exist in a parasitic or symbiotic relationship with their host cell (Lodish et al.‚ 2000) The main application of plasmids is as cloning vectors in gene cloning. In gene cloning‚ a fragment of DNA‚ containing the gene to be cloned is inserted into a circular molecule called the “vector” to produce recombinant DNA molecule. Plasmids

Introduction A bacteriophage is a virus that infects bacteria. A type of bacteriophage is bacteriophage lambda. This specific bacteriophage infects E. Coli. It is composed of protein and double stranded DNA ¡VdsDNA). The DNA of the phage contains around 50‚000 base pairs and codes for 50 proteins. At both ends of the DNA of the phage‚ there are cohesive ends‚ which are composed of 12 nucleotides. Both ends compliment each other‚ which makes the DNA circular once together. This circular DNA
