Gene editing and synthetic biology are two techniques that go hand in hand but differ ever so slightly. It is this slight divergence that makes a world of a difference. Gene editing is defined as the process of editing an organism’s DNA by altering‚ removing or adding nucleotides to the genome. Whereas synthetic biology is defined as a combination of molecular biology and systems biology with engineering principles to design biological systems and bio-factories‚ or the use of molecular biology tools

INTRODUCTION : Human “PKNOX” gene is a homeobox gene (1)‚ belongs to the homeobox gene family‚ involved in the regulation of development of animals. It is also known as “PREP”. They play important roles in different steps of body pattern formation during early embryogenesis of animals. Homeobox genes are generally highly conserved and control similar phenotypic characters among distantly related organisms (2). However‚ they are also responsible for controlling different phenotypic characters

Identification and characterization of Pierisin gene in P. napi The strategy was followed to amplify the Pierisin-6 gene was given in the supplementary Fig. 1. The mRNA of pierisin-6 gene was purified from the total RNA of fifth instar larvae of P. napi‚ the conserved region was amplified using gene specific primers (supplementary table-1)‚ cloned into pGEM®-T vector and sequenced. Further‚ 3’ and 5’ untranslated regions of pierisin-6 gene were identified by 3’/5’ RACE-PCR. The amplified cDNA sequence

The Controversial Viewpoints on Gene Doping Is gene doping in sports ethical? Gene doping is the case of genetic enhancement for purposes of athletic competition; it should not be confused with gene therapy. Gene doping is controversial because it is a modification to the body to turn it into something that it wasn’t intended to be. It’s like plastic surgery on a cellular level‚ some are against plastic surgery‚ and some people are okay with it. Stake-holders of this topic may be coaches‚ athletes

Cons of Gene Patenting As of 2010‚ there are 40‚000 patents within the U.S. that relate to the 2‚000 human genes (Wikipedia‚ 2011). A gene patent is when a person owns the rights to a gene and no other person can do research involving said gene. There is some controversy over whether these patents advance technology by providing scientists with a reason to produce‚ or if they restrict the research because of the genes patented (Debatepedia‚ 2011). Patents curb the discovery of cures and the creation
