In contrast with the genomic manipulations of animals and plants described in this chapter, human genetherapy is directed specifically at altering the genomes of somatic cells rather than germ-line cells.Why couldn’t or wouldn’t medical scientists try to alter the genome of human germ-line cells?
When doing a lab that involves Extraction of Genomic DNA from adult Drosophila melanogaster.
- What are the controls you should use and why use these? What is special about the genomic DNA? What do you expect to find (using these genomic DNA samples)?
please help!
how can genomes with a relatively small number of genes produce the vast complexity of phenotypes that results in living organisms, including humans?

- If you had the ability to do gene editing with ONE gene for the betterment of human kind, which one would you choose, and why? Assume you could either change an abnormal allele associated with a disease, such as the cystin gene associated with Cystic Fibrosis to its normal wild type, or add a pre-existing human allele to a genome.arrow_forwardWhat is inverse PCR?

- When the human genome sequence was finally completed, scientists were surprised to discover that the genome contains far fewer genes than expected. How many genes are present in the human genome? Scientists have also found that there are many more different kinds of proteins in human cells than there are different genes in the genome.
