In plants, various transposable element systems like Ac/Ds, En/Spm, and Mu from maize have been utilised for gene determining tools. Of these, Ac/Ds transposons system has been efficiently used for such studies in various heterologous monocot species like rice, barley and dicot species. Wild barley, being a rich source of novel useful genes, can be exploited as a transpososn based gene tagging resource

Look Pass the Label A few weeks ago, I visited the Museum of Modern Art. As I was going through the second exhibition a particular painting caught my attention. Still life with three puppies by Paul Gauguin was titled. My first encounter with this painting was through the title, which made me create negative hypothesis on what the painting was depicting. When looking at this painting all I could think about was my lack of fascination towards animals, especially puppies, while the person standing

Barbara McClintock was born on June 16, 1902, in Hartford, Connecticut (Tracy). When she was born, the terms “gene” or “genetics” did not exist (Keller 1).

What images are associated with the words “hero”? A muscular Hercules saving the world from Hades? A knight in shining armor bravely riding into combat?

H.R. 3590 (111th): Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act When president Obama was a candidate in the 2008 election he promised wide scale health care reform that would increase the availability and affordability of medical insurance for a large portion of the American population.

sorted into a house, and I would just have to sleep in Dumbledore’s office. That would be cool, maybe I would get to braid his beard. “Whatcha thinking about?” George asked from beside me. We were on our way to the Leaky Cauldron, where apparently Harry was staying after he blew up his aunt. We all had a good laugh about that. “Braiding Dumbledore’s beard,” I replied casually.

After the success of her popular Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling has recently branched out from writing children’s literature. Her first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, explores more mature topics and is aimed at a new demographic than her previous works.

Bernard Madoff Financial Scandal I would first like to begin this paper by saying why I decide to chose this topic out of the 3 choices. I believe that all of the choices were credible and a viable topic in their own regards, but the reason this one hit home for me was because of the simplicity of the scandal.
