WHAT IS GENE THERAPY? Gene therapy is the transfer of recombinant DNA into an individual’s body cells‚ with the intent to correct a genetic defect or treat a disease. The transfer occurs by the way of lipid clusters or genetically engineered viruses‚ inserts an unmutated gene into an individual’s chromosomes. It is basically a method for fixing defective genes that cause diseases. As Starr‚ Evers & Starr (2013) stated‚ there are over 15‚000 serious genetic disorders in the world. Most of

All remaining responsibilities are retained by the six States which were previously separate colonies. Each State has its own constitution‚ so that Australia

Gene Splicing What Is It? Gene Splicing is one type of genetic technology. It is the process of taking pieces of DNA from one or more organisms then combining them into another DNA strand to create new DNA or recombinant DNA. How does it Work? Chemicals called restriction enzymes are used as scissors to cut the DNA. Thousands of these restriction enzymes exist‚ each recognizing only a single sequence of DNA. Once it finds that sequence in a strand of DNA‚ it attacks it and splits the base pairs

High frequency trading According to Wikipedia‚ high frequency trading is a type of algorithmic trading which uses sophisticated technological tools and computer algorithms to rapidly trade securities. ! High frequency trading is a quantitative trading. It produces very small profits in each trade but huge profits when it has a large volume. The ability to process a large volume of information by computer contributes to HFT. Computerized quantitative models make all the decisions in a rapid

Radio Frequency Identification As a major company supplying to large home improvement stores such as Home Depot‚ and Lowe’s‚ I believe that for efficiency‚ accuracy‚ availability‚ and most importantly; profit‚ we should adopt to the Radio Frequency Identification system‚ a/k/a RFID. With technology improving in our everyday live‚ we should take advantage and utilize it for our business needs. The paper and clipboard method seems to be inefficient‚ and less accurate in terms of recording and reporting

Letter frequency From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia The most common letter in the English alphabet is E. The frequency of letters in text has often been studied for use in cryptography‚ and frequency analysis in particular.

How will Gene Doping effect the sports industry? Gene Doping is a different type of gene therapy that has caused a lot of controversy in the past 6-7 years due to the capability of what this method of doping could do. Gene doping therapy was started at Harvard in 1999 and was specifically used to get a substantial rise in the performance of athletes. This is done by genetically modifying cells to enhancing athletic performance. Gene therapy is done by using genes to help treat or stop diseases.

multiple cloning site (MCS) which is artificially implanted by adding a polylinker sequence to it. The pUC19 plasmid is also altered by inserting a gene that codes for beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood‚ Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase‚ an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and
