It is ironic that one of the biggest discoveries in the scientific world was found on a microscopic scale: sticky ends. When Ronald W. Davis‚ a professor in chemistry at Stanford University‚ was utilizing the EcoRI restriction endonuclease to cleave DNA‚ he noticed that the outcome was two single-stranded ends of DNA that had nucleotide base sequences complementary to each other. This was a result of the restriction enzyme creating overhang regions in the DNA strands which allowed for the sticky

Day two as a diabetic has come to an end. I thought yesterday was hard‚ but today was even harder.

Diabetes Mellitus most commonly known as diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases‚ characterised by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period in time.
