Gene Therapy Gene therapy involves using various mechanisms to?alter a person's genetic material?to treat, or cure, diseases As scientists gain a better understanding of the human genome and theref...
Genetic Screening In certain circumstances (eg. in the pregnancy in an older woman, or pregnancy where there is a family history of a genetic disease) may require individuals to determine if they h...
我們現(xiàn)在比以往任何時(shí)代都更容易了解周圍世界，獲悉各種動(dòng)態(tài)，傳播各種信息。這所有的一切得益于傳媒行業(yè)的蓬勃發(fā)展。傳媒一直以來都是留學(xué)的熱門專業(yè)，中國學(xué)生最常選擇的目的地包括美國、英國、香港、韓國等。...
Recombinant Human Proteins DNA that has been altered by introducing nucleotides from another source is called?recombinant DNA?(rDNA) If the organism contains nucleotides from a different species it...
Bioinformatics The various technologies (eg. microarrays and gene sequencing) being used today to analyse genes and proteins generate enormous quantities of data The data being collected ranges fro...
Microarrays Microarrays are laboratory tools?used to detect the expression?of thousands of genes at the same time and to?identify the genes present?in an organism’s genome Microarrays are used in m...
Gel Electrophoresis Gel electrophoresis is a technique used widely in the analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins. During electrophoresis the?molecules?are?separated?according to their?size / mass?and th...
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Polymerase chain reaction?(PCR) is a common molecular biology technique used in most applications of gene technology, for example, DNA profiling (eg. identification ...
Gene Editing Gene?genome?editing?(or editing) allows genetic engineers to alter the DNA of organisms by?inserting,?deleting?or?replacing?DNA?at specific sites in the genome known to cause disease. ...
Genetic Engineering: Promoter The?promoter?(an example of a length of non-coding DNA that has a specific function) is the?region of DNA that determines which gene will be expressed. This is because...
Genetic Engineering: Vectors Vectors are used to?transfer the desired genes?into a foreign cell Plasmids are the most commonly used vector but viruses and liposomes (a small vesicle with a phosphol...
Genetic Engineering: Enzymes Genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of a specific characteristic (or characteristics) of an organism. The technique involves?removing a gene?(or genes), ...
