    The applications of cell biology in the following four fields are given below: 1. Forensic Forensic molecular biology involves the study of human and mitochondrial DNA (may include other primates). Forensic molecular biology emphasizes molecular techniques such as DNA profiling and repetitive DNA in the human genome; origin of genetic polymorphisms and how they are maintained; continuous versus discrete allele systems; DNA isolation methods; Y-chromosome haplogrouping and analysis; RFLP analysis

    proteins of Bovine red blood cell (RBC) membranes were analyzed using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After analyzing Bovine RBC they were then compared to human RBC counterpart. Following finding the log of each molecular weight of each band, band one showed the highest molecular weight. All five bands viewed were from humans. There are typically 7 bands visible however, in our case only five were visible due to implications within the gel sample. Introduction Proteins are important elements

    Biochemistry Intern which I found on your website. I am a rising junior attending Rutgers University – New Brunswick, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. I aspire to earn a Ph.D., and conduct my own research in the future. I hope that research experience at Regeneron will assist me in finding my niche in the vast molecular world. I did a lot of research concerning Regeneron, and also reached out to a mutual friend, Michelle Karpenos, who has previously worked at Regeneron

    other hand, wanted to see what was the structure of DNA. After some inconclusive experiments, he went to Italy. At Italy, Maurice Wilkins was giving a lecture about his X-ray diffraction of DNA. Afterward, Watson was now determined to find DNA's molecular structure. In 1951, Watson went to England at the Stazione Zoologica 'Anton Dohrn' in Naples to perform X-ray diffraction experiments. On 1953, using data from his experiments and other peoples' (some without

    artificial gene into the organism, they observe what the mouse is no longer doing. Due to the fact that the artificial gene doesn’t function like the original gene, the mouse may not function as it did before the original gene (University of Molecular biology and bioinformatics, 2011). The changes that the mouse may experience could be a very minute detail, or they could be something that greatly affects the mouse, this is how scientists find out how important a gene is. Knockout mice offer other

    Elizabeth Blackburn is an amazing woman; who comes from a family of physicians. She has always had a passion for animals and science; she found biology to be her favorite subject in school. She was fascinated by the visual impacts of science through books. Perhaps, it is her enthusiasm for biology that inspired her to be one of the leading biochemists today. Elizabeth helped in the discovery of “the fountain of youth.” Elizabeth and two of her colleagues discovered a way for chromosomes to be copied

    On September 16th, 2010, my view of the world, the state of humanity and, my sense of security suddenly changed as my brother was murdered. When this tragedy occurred, I was in the first semester of my junior year at Xavier with a major in biology/premed and minor in chemistry. I was scheduled to graduate May of 2012 however; my anticipated graduation date came and went without me crossing the stage. I had lost hope that I would ever finally cross that stage and pursue my dreams; I felt completely

    reactions and processes that occurring in the cells. As these are very important, these are vital for metabolism. Most proteins work s enzymes and catalyze all biochemical reaction occurring in living body(Lehninger et al.). Understanding for the molecular diseases has been improved after the successful accomplishment of human genome project. But we need to understand different protein pathways that are involved in normal, diseased or treated states. To know the human genome, it’s really need to understand

    Department of Biology. In February 2013 I received a bachelor of science in biology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In the future I want to conduct research that would answer fundamental questions of ecological and evolutionary biology with applications toward conservation and natural resource management. The best approach to achieve this goal is to gain a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective. Mississippi State University offers a multidisciplinary biology program with a

    field of molecular biology; Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick solved the double-stranded, helical nature of DNA. Nearly three decades later, Kary Mullis invented the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983, followed only a year later by Sir Alec Jeffreys and his development of the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) (McDonald et. al, 2012). While many more methods have since been discovered that form an interdisciplinary bridge between forensics and biology, this paper
