analyze and identify DNA by use of a spectro-photometer * to use restriction enzymes to cleave DNA into fragments * to visualize the restriction fragments by gel electrophoresis * to compare the different DNA fragments generated by use of molecular markers Abstract This work describes a lysis method for the isolation and purification of bacterial genomic DNA and visualization of the restriction fragments by agarose gel electrophoresis. It was noted that for one to isolate and purify bacterial

Transgenic Animals: Ethical Issues and Benefits to Human Welfare Nowadays‚ breakthroughs in molecular biology are happening at an unprecedented rate. One of them is the ability to engineer transgenic animals‚ i.e.‚ animals that carry genes from other species. The technology has already produced transgenic animals such as mice‚ rats‚ rabbits‚ pigs‚ sheep‚ and cows. Although there are many ethical issues surrounding transgenesis‚ this article focuses on the basics of the technology and its applications

Dr. Randy Schekman graduated from the university of California‚ LA in 1971 for molecular biology and got his Ph.D. in biochemistry at Stanford University in 1975. Now he is currently working at the university of California as a professor of cell and development biology and also works at the Howard Huges Medical Institute Investigator. His main focus for his research is in the molecular description of the process of membrane assembly and vestibular movement in the eukaryotic cells. His interest

opposed to those performed ten years ago and analyse its future implications. The thrust of research while studying biology at a molecular level initially was focused specifically on the genomes of various organisms. As scientists discovered the intricacies of genes and their functionalities‚ the attention was soon drawn towards the end result of the central dogma of molecular biology‚ namely‚ the proteins‚ produced through translation of RNAs. Therefore‚ to study the proteins produced in an organism

DNA FINGERPRINTING Background Reading - Nelson Biology and Campbell Biology Purpose - To understand the basics of DNA fingerprinting used in the Canadian courts for crime convictions and paternity suits. Introduction The process of DNA fingerprinting was developed by Professor Alec Jeffreys at Leicester University in 1984 as a form of genetic analysis. It was first used in the law courts of England in 1987 to convict a man in a rape case. It has now been used successfully in many crime and paternity
