“snips”) are single base-pair changes in DNA that occur at specific places in the genome. For example, most individuals carry the C nucleotide at a specific base position in the genome, but in a minority of individuals this is replace...

CRISPR is a revolutionary gene editing technology that has enabled scientists worldwide to explore the cell's genetic blueprint in an unprecedented easy way. In this chapter, we will briefly present the history behind the development of this innovative tool, how it emerged from a natural ...
Genotyping is an umbrella term for several methods used to analyze variations (e.g., SNPs, insertions or deletions) in genomes between individual organisms.
The draft sequence of the human genome is unquestionably a landmark achievement, but it will not transform biology overnight. The sheer size of the dataset presents an enormous challenge to understanding, and a great deal of work will be needed before we can fully comprehend its implications. ...
In biology, separation is an important method for studying a cell's proteins. Learn how biologists use separation by mass, by affinity, through electrophoresis, and with multiple parameters to understand the function and characteristics of proteins. Related...
For example, we know that SNP M222 equates to Niall of the 9 Hostages in history. How cool is that to know! Some years ago, Dr. Doug McDonald assembled this wonderful map of the basic haplogroups of the world. Although we’ve discovered subgroups for each haplogroup, it’s still ...
What is the term that refers to the decision based on observations and analysis of data in an experiment? What is the role of statistics in biology? How can we use indicator species to help determine water quality? Why are pie charts a good way to display data that...
Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it enters the plant, through wounds or natural openings such as stomata, and multiplies within the apoplast. P. syringae is...
