1. How was the LOX mutation found in TAAD? The LOX mutation was detected via whole-genome sequencing on the patient with TAAD family history who was experiencing TAAD symptoms. A missense substitution was found at position 893 in the DNA sequence‚ causing the thymine replaced by guanine‚ resulting in the replacement of methionine by arginine at the position 298. LOX is a copper-dependent enzyme that cross-links the two structural proteins‚ collagen and elastin‚ on the blood vessel membrane. Methionine

Cancer Epidemiology Cancer is not a single disease; it is a myriad or collection of diseases with many different manifestations as there are many different types of tissues and cell types Cancer is a disease of abnormal gene expression. Cells are constantly evolving and have the natural selection pressures to change Common biological properties of tumor cells: 1) Deregulated clonal cell growth- all cells in a tumor originated from one single cell that acquired mutations that made it deregulated

It has a genome that can be easily manipulated and that is very similar to the one of humans‚ 90% similarity. Mice are used in drug testing‚ researching the immune‚ neural and endocrine systems‚ mimicking gene mutation and making disease models. Although humans have 99% genome similarity to the one of chimpanzees‚ which would make them a better fit as a model organism for humans‚ they are protected

INTRODUCTION Bioinformatics is a branch of biological science which deals with the study of methods for storing‚ retrieving and analyzing biological data‚ such as nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) and protein sequence‚ structure‚ function‚ pathways and genetic interactions. Simply we can say that bioinformatics is the combination of computer systems and biological systems (figure: 1). It generates new knowledge that is useful in such fields as drug design and development of new software tools to create

(4 marks) Organisms | Advantages | Disadvantages | A. thaliana used for plant development research | 1.) Tiny Genome- Therefore it is easy to study the genes and also to manipulate the genes.2.) Short Life Cycle- Experiments conducted on the A.thaliana will have observable results fast as the development of the plant is rapid.3.) Small size-can be cultivated in
