    their 1953 Nature publication‚ Watson and Crick announced their landmark discovery: DNA exists in the form of a right handed‚ three-dimensional double helix. They described their DNA model as two DNA strands connected by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases.  Adenine bases are always paired with thymines‚ and cytosines are always paired with guanines. Watson and Crick identified the anti-parallel configuration of DNA strands; each 5’ end of one strand is paired with the 3’ end of its complementary

    Extract DNA from Anything Living |[pic] | |Introduction: [pic] Since DNA is the blueprint for life‚ everything living contains DNA. DNA isolation is one of the most basic and essential techniques in the study of DNA. The extraction of DNA from cells and its purification are of primary importance to the field of biotechnology and forensics. Extraction and purification of DNA are the first steps in the analysis and manipulation of DNA that allow scientists to detect genetic disorders‚ produce DNA fingerprints

    store your DNA in a database? Not only that‚ how would you feel if you found out that your DNA was in the wrong hands? The boundary between violations of individual privacy can be quite difficult to identify due to a variety of reasons. DNA is the hereditary material that is the fundamental building block for an individual’s entire genetic makeup; it can be used in order to determine a wide range of information about an individual (Wall‚ 2005). DNA test banks are the storing of DNA information

    Since its discovery in the 1980’s‚ the application of DNA has been utilized in many ways. When Deoxyribonucleic Acid‚ or DNA is examined‚ a precise decoding of genetic information is revealed. With the exception of identical twins‚ every person’s genetic code (commonly referred to as a Genetic Fingerprint) is inherited and unique.
