Throughout our daily lives and even the stories we read, have people or at least something taking a risk. Do you think that it was worth it when you had taken the risk you did, or even the stories risks that they take? For some stories, the risks they take are also questionable and even heroic for others, even if it means there own lives on the line. We risk so many things in our daily lives, do i ask for the promotions, do I speak out on an opinion that people have, etc… I will be telling you…
perceive and transmit signals that cause the cell to react to changes. The set of all genes of an organism is called genotype. In all the cells of the same organism genotype is the same. Genetic engineering is the complex of technology which using molecular biological methods allow changing the structure of the genes and introducing foreign genes with the specified functions into the organism. However, the organism is transferred only…
This hospital-based case-control study was conducted on 110 consecutively newly diagnosed LP patients and 120 apparently healthy, age and sex-matched, control subjects. The control group consisted of participants referred for non-inflammatory dermatological conditions such as chronic hair loss or coming with their relatives. They had no oral mucosal, systemic or autoimmune diseases, and had no history of LP. All subjects were recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Department of Dermatology,…
Introduction The group I would like to nominate for The ‘Carleton Prize for Biotechnology’ is comprised of three well-known scientists, James Dewey Watson, an American geneticist; Francis Crick, a British molecular biologist, and Maurice Wilkins, an English physicist and molecular biologist. The three worked together and achieved a significant impact on biotechnology in terms of the discovery of DNA structure (the double helix), and therefore they had been awarded Nobel Prize in 1962…
to the repulsive forces between the negatively charged phosphate groups the nitrogenous bases would be located on the inside and the phosphate substituents on the outside (Crick). This monumental discovery fueled the creation of new forms of molecular biology specifically aimed at knowing the action of a gene. James Watson was born in Chicago in 1928; where he also received both his B.S. and Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Chicago. In 1951,Watson’s first postdoctoral year, he journeyed…
The main goal of this study was to identify and analyze the D1S80 gene, and this experiment illustrated the versatility of these molecular biology techniques of PCR and gel electrophoresis to serve as methods identifying individuals. Both of the hypotheses made in this experiment that (1) there were genetic variation with the six students and (2) Student 3’s genotype was heterozygous were supported by the data. As seen in Figures 1 and 2 and Table 1 with different agarose gel percentages, it can…
In this context, the development of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s marked the beginning of a new era in biology (Jackson et al. 1972). This beginning promoted a new born in genetic engineering boosting the modern biotechnology and other science fields. Thanks to this discover, scientists could manipulate genetic material and make individual studies at the level…
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE No person in this world born with particular desire to do something extraordinary. But soon after his thought process is maturing he just inclined over something spontaneously. I am also on the same trend but my thought process was quite dissipated since I get admitted department of pharmaceutical science at the University of Dhaka, best institution of Bangladesh. During my undergraduate studies, I gained comprehensive understanding of organic chemistry for two years with…
Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick unraveled the mystery of molecular biology. James Watson and Francis Crick have significantly improved the world with their discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA. The prodigious work they accomplished in their lives has had a profound impact on modern science. James Watson and Francis Crick deserve to be honored among the list of 100 influential Americans put out by The Atlantic publication. James Watson and…
potential and an even worse prognosis than pancreatic adenocarcinoma[1, 2]. A major hindrance towards development of therapies against pancreatic ASC is that the molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis remain poorly characterized. In this proposal I will take advantage of the expertise on RNA biochemistry and molecular biology that I have acquired during my doctoral training and combine it with the in vivo approaches developed by the Ventura lab to investigate the potential role of…
