Looking for liposome research? According to the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) Guidance Document entitled "Liposome Drug Products", a liposome is a microvesicle composed of a bilayer of lipid amphipathic molecules enclosing an aqueous compartment. It...
CRISPR is said to be "an easy, cheap, and very precise way to edit the DNA of living cells."
Genotyping is a process used to obtain DNA information, specifically used to determine the genetic variants or differences an individual has. Common genotyping methods include restriction fragment length polymorphism identification of genomic DNA, polymerase chain...
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetic differences affect a person's response to medicine. Pharmacogenetics is often used interchangeably with pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenetic research and testing determine a person's ability to metabolize medicines and...
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing? PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction and may be called "molecular photocopying," as it's a technique used to "amplify," or copy, DNA segments. According to the National Institutes of Health's National Human Genome...
Barbara McClintock was born June 16, 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. During high school, she developed a love of science and was determined to continue her studies at Cornell University studying agriculture, and in 1923, she received her BS in botany. McClintock...
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) foods are created in a laboratory through genetic modification and engineering. Non-Genetically Modified Organisms (Non-GMO) foods are those that have not been genetically modified. Many concerns regarding the safety of GMOs...
Explore the importance of DNA purification, the various methods used, and the critical factors that influence the quality and yield of purified DNA.
These tests have applications across a wide range of fields, from personalized medicine to reproductive planning.
Genetic markers are bits of genetic material, like genes or a DNA sequence, that are easily identifiable and used in laboratories as a way to tell apart cells, individuals, and species. Gene markers are often used to research and study relationships between an...
Explore quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), a powerful tool for precise nucleic acid quantification, used in research, diagnostics, and quality control.
Riboprinting is a molecular technique used to identify and classify microorganisms by analyzing their ribosomal RNA (rRNA) patterns.
Epigenetics is the study of changes or variations in gene expression that are caused by external factors switching the genes on and off, ultimately affecting how they are expressed. Epigenetic changes occur naturally though they can be influenced by age, lifestyle,...
DNA fingerprinting is a revolutionary technique that allows us to identify individuals based on their unique genetic makeup. This article delves into how DNA fingerprinting works, its applications, and its significance in fields like forensics, paternity testing, and genetic research.
Genetic markers are specific sequences of DNA that can be used to identify individuals, populations, or traits of interest. This guide explores the various types of genetic markers, their applications, and their importance in genetics, medicine, and evolutionary biology.
