Gene editing and synthetic biology are two techniques that go hand in hand but differ ever so slightly. It is this slight divergence that makes a world of a difference. Gene editing is defined as the process of editing an organism’s DNA by altering‚ removing or adding nucleotides to the genome. Whereas synthetic biology is defined as a combination of molecular biology and systems biology with engineering principles to design biological systems and bio-factories‚ or the use of molecular biology tools

Genes determine biological sex; assess the extent to which gender is bases on our genes. Although our chromosomal pairing will determine our sex (XX ’’ female and XY ’’ male)‚ this does not necessarily determine one’s gender. Gender is influenced at a pre-natal stage‚ via the release of testosterone from the gonads of an XY foetus. It is this testosterone release that sets in motion the train of events that lead to the eventual release of the other androgens from the pituitary gland. It is

Where does talent come from? Is it forged in the sweat and tears of hard work or in our natural born abilities? This has been debated for a very long time now and many authors have given their point of view on the situation. In The Sports Gene‚ a non-fiction text by David Epstein tells that talent comes from innate abilities and these abilities allow for little training to be needed to be successful. He talks about how our biological image can carry us to success. In Outliers: The Story of Success

Darker eye color genes are more dominant than lighter eye color genes. Each parent can only give one gene from each trait. The father inherited a brown eye gene and a blue eye gene. However‚ the father passed down the brown eye gene to its offspring. The mother inherited a green eye gene and a blue eye gene. Based on evidence‚ one can come to the conclusion that the mother will pass a green eye gene to the offspring. As a result‚ the offspring will have a brown a gene and a green eye gene.

change the genes of a child before they are born‚ to rid them of a family disease or just simply to be able to pick their traits‚ has been going on for years now. Every year humans as a whole are getting closer and closer to minimizing the major health concerns‚ so gene therapy can be done safely. It has been done on people in the past‚ but very few have received an effective treatment. But this doesn’t mean gene therapy is impossible‚ it just means more research needs to be done. Gene therapy was

INTRODUCTION : Human “PKNOX” gene is a homeobox gene (1)‚ belongs to the homeobox gene family‚ involved in the regulation of development of animals. It is also known as “PREP”. They play important roles in different steps of body pattern formation during early embryogenesis of animals. Homeobox genes are generally highly conserved and control similar phenotypic characters among distantly related organisms (2). However‚ they are also responsible for controlling different phenotypic characters

Gene therapy has a long rugged road ahead before it can be widely accepted in society. Gene therapy is an experimental technique in which genes are manipulated to prevent disease. Doctors hope to use this technique in the future to prevent future genetic disorders by injecting a gene in the patient’s cells instead of having to turn to surgery or drugs. Currently this process is only used if all other therapies are rendered ineffective. The two most frequently used methods are somatic therapy and

Regulators Approve 2nd Gene Therapy for Blood Cancer.” New York Times. October 18th. The Food and Drug Administration(FDA) approved a second gene therapy for a for a type of blood cancer and allowed the sales of the treatment from Kite Pharma. The therapy uses the same technology as the first gene therapy that the FDA approved in the U.S. in August. The treatment‚ called Yescaarta‚ is estimated to cost $373‚000 per patient. The technology‚ CAR-T‚ doesn’t fix the diseases-causing genes but attempts to

The painting "Adoration of the Magi" by di Nardo portrays the three Magi approaching the baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary. However‚ there is much more to it than just this familiar scene from Judeo-Christian lore. When approaching this painting in order to analyze it iconographically‚ it is necessary to first look at all aspects of the form. If this aspect is ignored‚ it provides for an incomplete analysis of the painting. Once this is looked at‚ the iconography of the painting becomes much clearer
