Harvard University Researchers Develop Cloaked DNA Devices for Medicine and Treatments By John Nassivera | Apr 29‚ 2014 05:20 PM EDT Researchers from Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biology Inspired Engineering have created a cloaked DNA nanodevice that can avoid defenses in the body’s immune system. The technology’s design was given inspiration from world viruses‚ according to Gizmag. The nanoscale device could be used for diagnosing

whose children were almost taken from her because her DNA profile indicated that she was not the mother of her children. The test revealed each child shared half of their DNA markers with their father‚ but only twenty-five percent of their DNA matches their mother. Our team will attempt to determine why this mother’s DNA profile does not match her children’s profiles. Hypothesis How is it possible for a mother’s DNA not to match the DNA of her biological children? 1. The “mother” is actually

DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA. DNA replication during mitosis is the basis for biological inheritance. The process of DNA replication starts when one double-stranded DNA molecule produces two identical copies of the molecule. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the production of the complementary strand‚ a process referred to as semiconservative replication. Cellular proofreading and error-checking

advances in harvesting mitochondrial DNA. “Markers” are used to trace ancestry. These markers are found through DNA Sequencing and SNP testing. The general acceptance is that the human race stemmed from a woman referred to as “Mitochondrial Eve.” It is estimated that she lived 200‚00 years ago in Africa (Rice University). Margit M. K. Nass and Sylvan Nass are accredited in discovering Mitochondrial DNA‚ or mtDNA in 1960 using electron microscopy (Rice University). DNA is found in two places in the cell;

strands of DNA double helix are separated‚ each can serve as a template for the replication of a new complementary strand‚ producing two daughter molecules each of which contains two DNA strands with an antiparallel orientation. The enzymes involved in DNA replication process are template-directed polymerases that can synthesize the complementary sequence of each strand with extraordinary fidelity. This complex leads to the local denaturation and unwinding of an adjacent A + T rich region of DNA. The interaction

DNA is the primary genetic material that makes each individual different. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes each pair of chromosomes contains DNA from one parent. DNA is found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells in living organisms. DNA is so important it is unable to leave the nucleus therefore the body makes RNA to carry information out into the cytoplasm. The three major components of DNA nucleotide monomers are phosphate‚ 5 carbon ring sugar (de-oxyribose) and

Scientist Practitioner Model Science the word itself is dominant around the world as almost all the theories and concepts in many subject areas are based on facts which are scientifically evident based. Psychology on the other hand presented as science in oxford dictionary definition. Reber (as cited in Henriques 2004) says that psychology cannot be defined but it is created by scientist to understand the human mind and behaviour. According to Henrique (2004) it is justifiable to define Psychology
