epigenetics will make healthcare more cost effective for everyone. Recent studies have shown us that single gene and microarray methods of genetic analysis have limited use in diagnosing the causes of many diseases. This is because of the rarity of many disease-causing SNPs and due to the increased understanding that many important genetic variations may exist outside of the typical coding region of a gene. Now‚ thanks to epigenetics‚ whole genome analysis has become a realistic option‚ both in price and

Are You a Good or Bad Student? Being a good student is what everyone wants to believe they are. But in reality we all know that there are bad students. I‚ myself would like to believe I am a good student but when I looked over the facts it seems that I am not a bad or a good student. The first and foremost important quality of a good student is‚ of course‚ hard working. We can’t have a good result in academic success without training and effort. The next quality is active in community. A good student

and even repeats‚ which ultimately can result in a nonfunctional protein. The APC gene produces a protein known as the APC protein that is involved in regulating cell adhesion‚ signal transductions‚ and transcription activation. Park and Vogelstein (2003) stated that‚ “the localization of the APC protein is in the basolateral membrane of the colonic epithelial cells…” When mutations occur within this specific gene‚ it causes excessive proliferation of the colonic epithelial cells‚ which result in

advanced tumor stages‚ high histological grades‚ and poor prognoses. Therefore HOTAIR may be an important target in the treatment of human osteosarcoma. It has been reported that the small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) promotes cell proliferation and migration by upregulating angiomotin (AMOT) gene expression in human Osteosarcoma cells that regulates MMP-2/MMP-9 expression. Mammalian genomes encode numerous natural antisense transcripts that are at least partially complementary to their sense transcripts

Chapter 6 Explain what free energy is and how it can be used to predict the energetic outcome of chemical reactions.Free energy is defined as the energy available to do work in any system. The free energy is denoted by the symbol G. G = H – TS* H: the energy contained in a molecule’s chemical bonds‚ called enthalpy.* TS: the energy term related to the degree of disorder in the system. T is the absolute temperature (K)‚ and S is the entropy.We can use the change in free energy to predict whether

Taxol is an anticancer drug produced by extraction from the bark of the pacific yew tree called Taxus brevifolia‚ which was discovered by Harvard trained botanist called Arthur Barclay in 1962 (wall and wani‚ 1995). It was renamed to paclitaxel when it was commercially developed. It is in a form of whitish crystalline powder with a melting point of 216 ºC‚ very insoluble in water‚ highly lipophilic‚ higher protein binding rate and disturbs the structure of the inner part of the cell membrane (Goldspiel
