keys to both pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine . These advances allow for testing and identifying an individual’s unique genetic makeup and then comparing those differences with the population at large . Knowledge of the human genome‚ variations of the genome among individuals and variations of the encoded proteins produced enables researchers to develop medicines that address the individual needs of each patient . Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine promise to improve clinical trials

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) belongs to cucurbitaceae; one of the most important plant families. It consists of 90 genera and 750 species. Most of the vegetables and certain fruits belong to this family. Cucumber is the fourth most cultivated vegetable in the world after cabbage‚ onions and tomatoes (Shetty and Wehner‚ 2002). China is at top of the list with almost 2/3 of all world production between 2000- 2004. Turkey is at the second place with approximately 5% of total production followed by

Adenovirus infection Adenovirus infections most commonly cause illness of the respiratory system; however‚ depending on the infecting serotype‚ they may also cause various other illnesses‚ such as gastroenteritis‚ conjunctivitis‚ cystitis‚ and rash illness. Symptoms of respiratory illness caused by adenovirus infection range from the common cold syndrome to pneumonia‚ croup‚ and bronchitis. Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus

permanent integration of genetics within the ideology of bioethics came in 1972. A primary determinant in understanding the genetic aspects of human disease is the Human Genome Project‚ which has been taking tremendous strides toward progressions for diagnostic procedures‚ treatment methods‚ and preventive measures ("Human Genome Project‚" 2013). Of course‚ any new discovery breeds debate. Since its introduction‚ the moral

Genetic engineering is the incorporation of a new gene into another organism’s genome for a certain benefit which may include treatment of diseases‚ manufacturing of drugs‚hormones etc.‚ and production of foods.It started in early 1900’s‚ but scientists at that time did not practice ethics but as time went by ethical issues were addressed with the evolution of International organizations such as the United Nations. lt has been beneficiary to our society especially in the food production industries

BS801 Genes R Us Questions for study: 1. What functions do transcription and translation carry out‚ and where are they carried out in the cell? Transcription: process of creating an equivalent RNA copy of a sequence of DNA Transcription is the first step leading to gene expression. The stretch of DNA transcribed into an RNA molecule is called a transcription unit and encodes at least one gene. Occurs in nucleus of the cell Translation: Translation is the production of proteins by decoding mRNA produced

Behavior Genetics Chromosomes containing DNA are situated in the nucleus of the cell Segments within DNA consist of genes that make proteins to determine our development Genome is the set of complete instructions for making an organism‚ containing all the genes in that organism. Thus‚ the human genome makes us human‚ and the genome for drosophila makes it a common housefly. Studying the effects of heredity and environment on two sets of twins‚ identical (monozygotic) and fraternal (dizygotic)‚ has
