demonstrate the use of gene therapy on diseases that are caused by a single gene defect. This procedure was demonstrated on two different strains of baker’s yeast‚ EAY 235 and EAY 431‚ which both contained mutations in the LEU2 and TRP1 genes. Neither of these strains will grow without a proper medium that would supply both of these essential amino acids. The EAY 431 strain of yeast also contained a Rad 52 deletion‚ which caused EAY 431 to be a deficient‚ recombinant strain. The LEU2 gene is a linear fragment

People are predisposed by their genes to act in different ways‚ but how exactly these difference manifest themselves depends greatly on the context that people are raised in.

Multiculturalism allows for the exposure of genes to new cultures‚ especially by the second generation

Gene patents have been a controversial issue ever since the United States Patent Office began to grant patents for human genes. Those who protest gene patents argue that they will impede research and negatively affect the medical field. Supporters of the patents suggest that they will help propel the field to new heights by harboring innovation through the pricing power that comes with patenting.
