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 and techniques to forward-engineer cellular

BIOTECHNOLOGY RECOMBINANT DNA technology 1. This is a modern biotechnological advance ‚ in which a desired gene fragment can be inserted in to a cloning vector and the resulting DNA (Recombinant DNA) can be amplified in suitable host. 2. A vector can be a plasmid‚ cosmid‚bacterophage‚retroviruses‚ animal and plant viruses or artificial chromosomes like YAC‚ BAC‚or HAC.(Yeast artificial chromosome‚ bacterial........) 3. The rec. DNA produced can be amplified or cloned in a suitable vector

to be better; therefore‚ I believe that the Honors College would be a great challenge to me. Since I am interested in the medical field and especially the pediatric area of study‚ I want to possibly study progeria and the differences in the human genome. Progeria is a rare genetic disorder‚ so rare that only one in four million

extinct animals‚ those ways are somatic cell nuclear transfer‚ SCNT for short‚ or mapping out the genome of an extinct animal and implanting it into a closely related surrogate mother. In the case of the woolly mammoth‚ the cell would have to be implanted into an Asian elephant (Hutchinson). Another idea proposed by scientists would be to alter an existing elephant’s genome so that it followed the genome of a woolly mammoth (Hutchinson). Recently‚ cloning has seen a significant number of advances

INTRODUCTION: characteristics‚ basic properties and medical importance of the virus The human papilloma virus‚ a member of the family Papillomaviridae‚ is an agent that causes Human Papillomavirus infections that affect skin and mucous membranes. This group of viruses includes more than 100 different strains or types and more than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted. HPV can infect the genital areas of both women and men and is a virus specific to humans. This includes the vulva in
