Controlling Alternative Splicing via Cell Signaling Pathways On November 18, 2014, Dr. Kristen W. Lynch’s seminar topic was about how the cell signaling pathways can control the process of alternative splicing. Dr. Lynch’s started the seminar by mentioning that about 95% of human genes undergo alternative splicing. Those genes that undergo alternative splicing further change the Open Reading Frame (ORF). ORF is a reading frame of nucleotides that begins with start codon and ends with stop codon

organism genome to create a new DNA. The new DNA might be implanted in a totally different DNA species. It is widely used to create hybrids (some species are not able to naturally breed), correct genetic flows in any type of being. It is applied in fields such as agriculture, industrial, medicine and pharmaceutical. (Aldridge, 1996). As Primrose explained, gene manipulation involves the creation and cloning of artificially created DNA (recombinant DNA) that provides with DNA sequences not found in nature

turns out is the cause of crown gall diseases in many ornamental and fruit plants (Keefer). Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a species of soil-dwelling bacteria that has the ability to infect plant cells with a piece of its own DNA. “The Agrobacterium tumefaciens cell contains two DNA containing structures; a bacterial chromosome and another structure known as a Ti (tumor-inducing) plasmid” (Keefer). According to University of Washington microbiologists, Agrobacterium only infects a plant that has become

Gene Technology Nelly Solorzano Strayer University SCI115008VA016-1158-001 Intro to Biology Kerry Lee November 29, 2015 Gene Technology Biological basis - Genetic engineering is a laboratory process by which an individual genome is purposely modified. With genetic engineering a gene from one species can be transferred to another and produce an organism that is transgenic or a gene can be altered and reinserted into an individual of the same species. Either way resulting in genetically

as prokaryotes (before nucleus) or eukaryotes (true nucleus). Prokaryotes was developed first, they are small (size 1 to 10um) and they consist of one cell (unicellular) and it has no nucleus but instead it as a nucleoid which contains the genome (DNA of the cell). (Boundless 2015) (Look figure1) Eukaryotes come from prokaryotic cells and they are large (size 10 to 100um), highly structured, they consist of many cells (multicellular), has a nucleus which is the brain of the cell and it is enclosed

Kyle Mason Mr. Patrick Williams English 111.0004 24Jan2016 Identity: The Constituents of Selfhood What is identity? This is a question that organizations, religions and couch doctors have attempted to answer on people’s behalf since the formation of society. Identity is everything, a unique combination of over 10 billion sets of characteristics. No two sets are alike, all are unique. It is one’s framework. It’s these genetic characteristics that an individual identifies as belonging uniquely to

Regeneration is a process that regrows and repairs parts of the body that are lost or injured. This process mostly occurs in certain types of animals like worms, starfish and sea cucumbers, but regeneration can occur in every species. The type of regeneration differs, as planaria can regenerate their entire body, as humans can only regenerate cells and certain body organs, such as the liver (Chen et al. 1991). Regeneration is important to the animal because it is involved in functionality, and without
