Genomics

only grew as my knowledge did. My ultimate goal in the field of genetics would be to work as a researcher of a clinical research organization such as Genome Canada or in a hospital such as The Hospital for Sick Children in their Centre for Applied Genomics. Within these jobs, I would be impacting the lives of many patients who suffer from various genetic diseases such as autism or conditions such as heart disease that are heavily influenced by a patient’s genes. As a researcher in this field, I would

The aim of this experiment was to use a PCR-RFLP to determine the presence of HLA-H gene responsible for hereditary haemochromatosis. The genomic DNA containing the Cys282Tyr mutation was amplified by PCR and the mutation was detected in several individuals. In addition, it is also known that this mutation results in the establishment of a new RsaI site into the DNA, which was identified by

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance that occurs during pregnancy [1]. GDM is a widespread condition in Indian women during pregnancy affecting nearly 21 percent of all pregnancies [2, 3] nationwide. Prevalence of GDM in India differs from region to region, with 3.8% in Kashmir [4], 16.55% in Tamil Nadu [5], 7.7% in Maharashtra, 7.1% in Haryana [6], 19% in National Capital Region [3]. Epidemiological studies have confirmed the association of GDM with increased feto-maternal

Eric Lefkofsky is Fighting Cancer with Each Investment to Tempus Lab Tempus is one of the most successful startups in Chicago receiving a round of investments throughout the year from financial institutions and prominent individuals. This company is putting physicians in a better position to fight cancer in every kind of way helping patients improve their health situations. Tempus focuses on providing the proper cancer care to patients who feel like no hope is there and Eric Lefkofsky ensures the

Insulin referred to as hormone is secreted using the pancreas which control glucose levels in the blood. Without insulin, cells cannot use the energy from glucose to perform the numerous functions within the body. The main metabolic fuel for cell utilization used in energy production are glucose and fatty acids. In addition, equilibrium between food intake and energy expenditure may depend on energy homeostasis and metabolism. However, glucose is the most important fuel with a normal level ranging

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile gram negative bacterium that grows in soil, marshes, and coastal marine habitats, as well as on plant and animal tissues. People with cystic fibrosis, burn victims, individuals with cancer, and persons infected with HIV are particularly at risk of disease resulting from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Unlike many environmental bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a remarkable capacity to cause disease in susceptible hosts. It

I have always been interested in science, but the hands on experiments have helped me understand and grasp concepts much easier. I recall my first experiment in first grade when the class was given the lima bean sprout experiment, which required students to plant a bean in a paper cup. The purpose of this experiment was to teach us about photosynthesis and practice our observation skills. I recall how others were fascinated about why their sprout grew. I, on the other hand, was more captivated by

Eric Lander studied/studies Genomics. He went to princeton university and now is a professor at Massachusetts institute of tech (harvard). Eric Lander has discovered Mammalian genomes, genome regulation, microbial and fungal genomes, cell circuits connectivity map, RNAI consortium. website: biology.mit.edu Scientific reason……….. Eric Lander has helped map out the human genome, the basics of biology, Natural selection in genes, and the susceptibility of disease in the human population. Yes, we

This research paper is about analysis of variation at transcription factor binding sites in Drosophila and humans. This analysis is done in order to investigate the transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) variability with the comparison of ready published data of transcription factor binding maps for Drosophila isogenic lines and human individuals. In this paper it is very important to understand the concept of population genetics. Population genetics explains the study and research of distributions

progressed the field of biotechnology essentially operating on higher order of magnitude than our ancestors. With more knowledge of genetic material and metabolic functions, scientists have been capable of extraordinary feats from gene therapy to genomic sequencing. The advancements in biotechnology and in other research areas has also increased the potential misuse of scientific research that could be used to harm humanity and the world instead of help it. This concept has been dubbed dual-use research
