signal into the cell will bne activated to elicit a physiological response. Examples of such process involve cAMP, calcium signaling, and kinases. 4. Write an essay on the uses of polymerase chain reaction in molecular biology The polymerase chain reaction (or PCR) is a molecular technique for the amplifyication of a single or a few copies of DNA strands across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to even millions of copies of a particular DNA strand with the specific primers and

itself as “a center for scholarly research, informed and creative teaching, and service to the community and society at large.” That definition directly aligns with why I am drawn to both political science and molecular biology. I am drawn to both political science and molecular biology because growing up, I witnessed systematic failures firsthand; from my parents being sued for over twenty years over property that was rightfully and legally theirs to blatant governmental corruption in India, to

A main purpose of my future PhD is gaining a better understanding on molecular mechanisms of disease through interdisciplinary approaches for future treatments. My research interests gravitate towards the molecular biology of cancer, neurodegeneration and age, and clinical neuroscience. I am curious not only about what gives rise to cancer, but what are the metabolic changes in cancer development and progression. Such information is needed for future effective treatment relying on pharmacological

A lot has been discovered in the world of molecular biology especially revelations of the RNA world. Non-coding RNAs form a major part of it. A lot more of the human genome is transcribed than as initially thought and regulation is one of the major processes the non-coding RNAs (which though transcribed do not end up producing proteins) perform. These regulatory RNAs can be small like miRNAs, siRNAs, snRNAs of the spliceosome, snoRNAs for large RNA processing etc. or they can be long as in the case

Transforming Species into Molecular Biology Between 1850 and 1950, the definition of what science was and what it could become radically changed through means of breakthrough theories, ideas and experimentations from scientists exploring the realms outside of the traditional religious views. The method of how science was conducted drastically altered as well. The development of new technologies allowed scientists to step away from simple observation, towards more sophisticated and complex research

Dr. Elizabeth Ables is an assistant professor at East Carolina University, in Greenville, North Carolina. She has worked there since 2013. Dr. Ables received her BS degree from St. Andrews University and her Ph.D. in Molecular Physiology and Developmental Biology from Vanderbilt University. She studied how the pancreas precursor cells are led by a cascade of transcription factors during development to become insulin-producing beta cells, while using transgenic mice and immunofluorescence microscopy

CARBON SOURCE The lignocellulosic hydrolysate will be prepared by the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH, UPLB) from sweet sorghum bagasse subjected to pretreatment followed by sulfuric acid (0.75 wt% and pH 1.1) hydrolysis at 100∘C. BACTERIAL STRAIN Cupriavidus necator is a bacterial strain that is commonly used in accumulating poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), the most common type of PHA. It is most effective when the amount of carbon source present is in excess

In 1956, Francis Crick first described what he called “The central dogma of molecular biology.” This essentially describes the flow of genetic information within cells. It states that DNA is transcribed into RNA with the help of an RNA polymerase enzyme. The RNA is then translated into a protein by protein synthesis. One thing that could drastically alter the genetic information within cells is a process called gene silencing. This process regulates the gene expression of certain genes and can

to be discussed of the application of molecular biology in the field of plant ecology, what molecular biology is as well as what plant ecology is. Plant ecology is one of the branches in the scientific field of ecology that mainly focus on plant population and their surroundings (McMahon, 2016). Plant ecologists also look at other factors that have an impact on the plants and their environment. According to the MIT Department of Biology, plant molecular biology is the study where biological data such
