BRCA1 Genes: A Genetic Analysis

Introduction
Cancer, when you read that word what goes through your head? Many of us know someone who has been diagnosed with this terrible disease. It is one of those diagnoses where you just don’t know what is going to happen. It can be very unpredictable, however there are many more cases where those who were diagnosed go into remission. Cancer is so hard to treat because the tumor cells are constantly growing and mutating. The tumor itself is a mutation of our own cells and since it is an ever mutating mutation, it is hard to control. Chemo and surgery are the most well-known treatments for cancer, but gene therapy is something that is being used. Gene therapy is where a tumor suppressing gene is cloned. We decided to emphasize on the BRCA1 gene. The purpose of this research is to discover new techniques in genetic cloning of the
These genes are frequently altered; therefore it is crucial to find a way to ensure the stability of the cell and its genetic material in order to further prevent genetic alterations that could eventually
