    Processes Used to Produce Transgenic Species

    Transgenic animal species are produced by two main methods: the transgene ("two separately cloned genes are spliced together, one gene contains the coding sequence for the protein of interest and the other controls the tissue in which the animal protein will be expressed") can be microinjected in or created by using embryonic stem cells. The microinjection method involves the injection of DNA into the pronuclei of a fertilised egg, which is cultured in a laboratory. The modified eggs are then implanted into a female where they develop and are born. Embryonic stem cells can be cultured and the transgene added. It then begins dividing, and is incorporated into a new blastocyst which is then implanted into a female to develop and is born.…

    Xenopus Laevis Lab Report

    During the first lab experience involving Xenopus laevis, I had many questions. One of my most burgeoning questions was the result of the in vitro fertilization of the Xenopus eggs. To begin, the female frogs were gently massaged in a manner that was similar to the method of amplexus males use in order to release the eggs. The released eggs were placed in a petri dish where they were to be fertilized by the sperm of a male frog, who had donated his life prior to the running of the IVF treatment. In order to fertilize the eggs, the testis was diced into a small piece and then was moved around the petri dish touching every egg present in hopes of fertilizing each one. The eggs were then left for five minutes before adding a simple saline solution.…

    Transgenuity Pathway Analysis

    Villeda emphasizes on the counteractive measures of cognitive impairment effected by aging. Aging contributes to the cognitive deterioration by altering the structure and functionality of the brain. In order to resist such devastating effects, Vidella proposes to introduce young blood to aged organisms by utilizing heterochronic parabiosis. The heterochronic parabiosis can be utilized to neutralize and reverse pre-existing conditions of aged-brain at the molecular, structural, functional and cognitive levels.…

    Bone Marrow Grafting

    Massive diaphyseal bone defect cause by trauma, infection, congenital deformity and malignancy are common and present a formidable challenge to orthopedic surgeon. In most cases, restoration of alignment and stable fixation of the bone is all that necessary to achieve a successful reconstruction. This report highlights a case of large bony defect treated with a less invasive technique call Percutaneous Bone Marrow Grafting.Our case was a 19-year old boy who was arranged for percutaneous bone marrow injection for his non-union tibia bone fracture. Serial radiographic monitoring showing bony defect area was markedly increased in bone density, and patients tolerate full weight bear after 2 months of injection.…

    Gene Cloning

    One aspect of the DNA cloning experiments that is carefully considered is the selection of cloning vectors. A variety of vectors have been created, each being suitable for a particular use. One common vector used in laboratories is a plasmid called pUC19. It is 2686 base pairs long and possesses an origin of replication which allows the production of over 100 copies in a competent E.coli cell. It possesses a multiple cloning site (MCS) which is artificially implanted by adding a polylinker sequence to it. The pUC19 plasmid is also altered by inserting a gene that codes for beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood, Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase, an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and Strachan 2011). The aim of this experiment is to incorporate a cDNA called CIH-1, from plasmid pBK-CMV, into pUC19.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Transgenic Biotechnology

    Genome constitutes the complete genetic make-up of an organism; its complete DNA or RNA. It contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. The field of Genetic engineering is primarily concerned with manually tweaking the genome of the target organism, in order to engineer mutations with newer genetic traits with the aim of introducing specific desirable traits into a specie. Transgenic biotechnology opens a new world of possibilities, gives us hope for a better, stronger and healthier world but not everyone has such a positive outlook on genetic…

    Dna Cloning

    DNA cloning refers to the process of making multiple copies of a DNA fragment. For the past weeks we have conducted a set of experiments that allow us to clone a specific gene in drosophila. First we started by the process of DNA extraction, which allowed us to isolate the genomic DNA from D. Melanogaster. This process requires the use of lysis in other to extract the DNA and RNA. After extracting the DNA, we it is important to use PCR amplification in order to amplify the DNA template to produce a specific DNA fragment. Another important step in DNA cloning is plasmid isolation. Plasmid isolation allows us to extract a plasmid from a bacterial cell (E.coli). In our experiments, we had to amplify either the 18S rRNA or the actin gene found in D. Melanogaster.…

    Embryo Transfer Process

    Embryo transfer is the process of taking fertilized embryos from one animal and inserting them into another. This is very useful today in cattle, because now it is economically feasible and it allows the producer a greater number of offspring from one cow with desirable traits. The process starts normally by artificially inseminating the cow. Exactly seven days later, the uterus is flushed, and the embryos and ova. Next, the embryos will be isolated. The embryos are then inserted into the recipient cow.…

    Pros and Cons of Transgenesis

    Transgenic organism is an organism that has been engineered to carry genes from another species. In this way organism can be made to produce different protein than it normally would. The reason why Transgenesis is possible is because DNA in all organisms is the same if a scientist removes a segment of DNA from one organism and injects it into another then the cell of the second organism will read and use the new DNA as if it was its own. Transgenic organisms, as well as all genetically modified organisms (GMO), are highly debatable because although uses are infinite there are environmental and ethical issues that question the use of GMOs.…

    Horizontal Gene Transfer

    Horizontal Gene Transfer

    My research shows the rise in antibiotic resistant pathogens through horizontal gene transfer. Located in the bacteria are plasmids. They are independent, self-duplicating, and allow bacteria to perform new functions/generate new products. Basically plasmids help their hosts to stop the action of antibiotics and become resistant. “Gene transfer must be integral and critical to the overall survival of bacteria, providing a way for them to adapt to difficult conditions” (Levy 2002, 83). Horizontal gene transfer can occur through conjugation, transposition, transduction, and transformation. These forms of horizontal gene transfer have led to several ways for antibiotic resistant genes to be obtained. The acquiring of these resistant genes allow bacteria to stop the function of antibiotics.…
