is a technology for determining the sequence of DNA or RNA to study genetic variation associated with diseases or other biological phenomena. Introduced for commercial use in 2005, this method was initially called “massively-parallel sequenc...
With the confirmation that DNA held the secret to inheritance, people also started charting the genetic code, finding the specific locations on the chromosomes where certain genes appeared. Along the way, they learned a great deal about DNA and inheritance, and the DNA code is continually being ...
Automation of Sanger sequencing has been made possible with the development of a variety of DNA sequencing instruments and platforms; one of the latest innovations is theApplied Biosystems SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer, which uses a cartridge-based system rather t...
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) contains RNA, which is then converted into DNA after attaching itself to the host cell. Apart from being responsible for the inheritance of genetic information in all living beings, DNA also plays a crucial role in the production of proteins. Nuclear DNA ...
What physical traits are genetic? What is Gene Therapy? Do I need a Genetic Counselor? Should we clone sheep? Will DNA bring the dinosaurs back from extinction? When do I get my own pet Cryolophosaurus? (also known as Elvisaurus for the Elvis-like “hair plume” on its head) I want ...
What is methylation in the body? When optimal methylation occurs, it has a significant positive impact on many biochemical reactions in the body that regulate the activity of the cardiovascular, neurological, reproductive, and detoxification systems, including those relating to: DNA production Neurotransm...

group, which is one phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms; a sugar molecule; and anitrogenbase. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C), and together, these serve as the "letters" that make up the genetic code of our DNA....
