DNA replication is a complex cellular function that is necessary in order to sustain life and achieve growth. Many enzymes, proteins, and other molecules work together to ensure that genetic information is replicated efficiently, quickly, and accurately. Without any one of these components, replication would be very limited in its efficacy. DNA is comprised of…

Only a small fraction of our total DNA makes us different from gorillas,chimpanzees and other primates. An even smaller fraction makes one persondifferent from the next. It’s these differences that forensic DNA experts use toidentify people and determine the source of biological evidence such as blood orsemen found at a crime scene. DNA testing is…

The world has evolved and changed so much that so many things we thought were impossible are now possible, or becoming possible. Certain advances in the field of genetics have sparked controversy.

DNA FingerprintingDNA Fingerprinting is also referred to as DNA profiling and DNA typing. It was first developed as an identification technique in England in 1985. The original use was to expose the presence of any genetic diseases. About three years later it became used to identify criminals through the analysis of genetic material and to…

Genetic engineering has been advancing the human race through technology. Many things were questionable, but none are as close to a certain technology today as genetic engineering. What exactly is genetic engineering? To put it shortly, scientists splice, alter, and manipulate genes of one thing to their desired outcome, and even insert that gene into…

What is DNA? DNA (noun) [deoxyribonucleic acid]First appeared 1944 : any of various nucleic acids that are usually the molecular basis of heredity, are localized especially in cell nuclei, and are constructed of a double helix held together by hydrogen bonds between purine and pyrimidine bases which project inward from two chains containing alternate links…

The survey of heritable familial information that is separate from the sequence of bases on DNA is known as epigenetics. This is a quickly spread outing field of survey affecting chemical alterations in the chromosomes, and associated proteins, that can straight impact the phenotype of a eucaryotic cell via alterations in cistron look. The systems…
