Genomics

Introduction: The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) is a not-for-profit organization specializing in the research of various types of cancer and rare diseases as well as new drug discovery for many of these diseases. It has been a leader in the cancer genomics research field over the last several years. TGen has a number of laboratories, led by individual research scientists, where research is carried out. As a not-for-profit organization, TGen is funded by donations and research grants

Manali; Nanda, Eshan Introduction Within a genome, there is a vast sequence of DNA that may be studied. The resulting goal of this study is to create a genomic library of the bacteria Aliivibrio Fischeri. We will be achieving this purpose by making Escherichia Coli luminescence through the use of the lux operon. In the process of understanding the genomic library of A. Fischeri bacteria, we will be creating a restriction map of the restriction sites in the plasmids containing a lux. In this study we will

Eliana Giller Introduction: Genetic and genomics both play roles in health and disease. Body 1: Genetic make up comes from mutations within DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid. Each cell contains 9 feet of DNA. In an average mean you eat approximately 55,000,000 cells; this is equal to about 93,205 miles of DNA. DNA is formed by a specific type of molecule called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has a phosphate group, sugar group, and nitrogen base. The 4 types of nitrogen bases are

have taken; however, the opportunity to discover new information through research is one of my most intellectually stimulating experiences. With my goal to learn as much as possible under Dr. Nolan Kane, the Professional Investigator of the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative (CGRI), I have expanded my traditional bench lab experience to bioinformatics, hemp breeding, and leading designing and performing my own project examining differential protein expression in Cannabis. Although I am deeply fascinated

Personal and population genomics of human regulatory variation INTRODUCTION A small segment of human genome is formed of protein sequences while some of the non-coding DNA indicates biological functions. They are known to identify the functional area in the human genome which is studied by ENCODE project. The characteristics which are acting upon the regulatory variations amongst the human beings are found to be elusive due to the difficulty in explaining the functional DNA. Genomic scale maps are combined

Why genomic rearrangements are important for lymphocyte function. Introduction Through a series of steps called the immune response, the body’s immune system attacks invading disease-causing organisms and substances. The cells involved in this immune response are called leukocytes. Leukocytes are produced and stored in the thymus, spleen, and bone marrow (lymphoid organs). There is also lymphoid tissue throughout the body that houses leukocytes (lymph nodes). The leukocytes circulate through

affects the emergence of the Genomic Industry by the development of personalized products and services through the analysis of an individual’s genome. The industry can create a new avenue of approach in which it may profit through the production of tailored products and insights through the study of individual genome. This will also allow for the development of new technology and growth. Because of the necessity of a great quantity of diverse phenotypic and genomic data, this industry firm strategy

Epiviz is a computational and visual data analysis for genomics; workflows that involve the integration and exploration of multiple heterogeneous data sources, small and large, public and user specific have been poorly addressed by these tools. Epiviz wants to fix that and make it simpler for scientists to use for their own research on studying genomes. The general concept of the research project is to push more of the data analysis supporting interactive visualization to the backend. The system

Genomics - Disruptive Technologies: Creating A New Healthcare Paradigm Disruptive technologies have played a significant role through the ages in leapfrogging the paradigms of healthcare systems Innovation and medicine go together. In modern times medicine has been transformed by waves of discovery that have brought marvels like antibiotics, vaccines and heart stents. Disruptive technologies have played a significant role through the ages in leapfrogging the paradigms of healthcare systems. The

It has been known that de novo DNA methyltransferases are required for Genomic imprinting but it is unclear of how the specific allele was removed from primordial germ cells (PGC). Previous studies shown that Tet1 is a translocation family protein that oxidize 5 methylcytosine (5mC). 5mC is also expressed in reprogramming PGC. Due to this reason the scientists hypothesized that Tet1 serves as the imprinting erasure in erasing the methylation mark during primordial germ cell reprogramming.     To
