    Activity 3.2.2: The Genetic Code Introduction In the previous activity‚ you learned how DNA encodes the instructions for creating proteins. You also learned about the basics of the process of protein synthesis. In this activity you will apply your knowledge of transcription and translation to decode a secret message as well as investigate the effect that various mutations have on protein production. You will then look specifically at the genetic mutation that causes sickle cell disease. Equipment

    Association for Molecular Pathology vs. Myriad Genetics The case of the Association for Molecular Pathology vs. Myriad Genetics was a case that challenged the validity of gene patents in the United States. It specifically challenged certain claims in issued patents owned or controlled by Myriad Genetics that cover isolated DNA sequences‚ methods to diagnose propensity to cancer by looking for mutated DNA sequences‚ and methods to identify drugs using isolated DNA sequences. Before this case occurred

    the pGLO Plasmid on Genetic Transformation of E.coli by Heat Shock Introduction Genetic transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake‚ incorporation and expression of exogenous genetic material l(exogenous DNA) from its surroundings and taken up through the cell membranes. This was first demonstrated in 1928 by Bacteriologist Frederick Griffith (Lederberg 2000).A plasmid is a small circular piece of DNA that contains important genetic information for the

    II-Leukocidin genetic organization and genome distribution The genetic architecture of the S. aureus leucocidins is widely conserved. F and S subunits of a certain toxin pair are transcribed from specific single promoter. The open reading frame of the S subunit immediately come before The open reading frameof the F subunit‚ with as little as a single nucleotide separating each open reading frames (Fig.1). The only known exception to this rule iwas in gamma-hemolysin locus. 1-Gamma-hemolysin:
