Anyone who reads the paper or any of the scientific magazines (Scientific American, Discover, Popular Science) is aware that genes are BIG news these days. Here are some of the terms you commonly see: Biotechnology Gene splicing Human genome Genetic engineering Recombinant DNA Genetic diseases Gene...
What is the effector mediating the response? What are the steps of the scientific method? Explain each step. Describe the difference between an acid solution and a basic solution at the molecular level. Why do we need to know biology?
not tissue- or cell-specific, this approach may not be sufficient to determine the specific tissue in which the expression is detected [7]. To overcome these challenges, the ideal solution is the isolation of specific tissues. In the case of secondary growth, it is possible to manually separa...
Describe the heterologous hybridization. How and when would you use this method? How is it helpful in molecular biology? Explain the process of alternative splicing. What is the process of mass spectrometry? Explain. (a) Describe the importance of genetic engineering. (b) What are its applicatio...
the researchers spotted a group of proteins forming an unfamiliar structure. Working with UC San Diego colleague Gene Yeo, PhD, they eventually determined the structure to be a new complex of proteins that bindsRNA. The complex is likely involved in splicing, an important cellular event ...
(corresponding to a DDREF of 2) when applied to low-level exposures. A DDREF is not applied to leukaemia, because a linear-quadratic dose–response model is used (rather than linear dose–response models used for solid cancers), which is implicitly consistent with a reduction of risk at ...

Aswale Abhijit S. Deshmukh Nature Communications(2025) TgVax452, an epitope-based candidate vaccine targeting Toxoplasma ...
splicingIntroduction Molecular hybridization consists of the formation of double-stranded DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA (less frequently RNA-RNA) duplexes between single-stranded polynucleotides with complementary sequences. It is one of the techniques that has been most extensively used in molecular biology. ...
How does the sequence information of a promoter differ from that of the expressed region? (a) Describe what an endophyte is and give a specific example. (b) Provide an example of at least one beneficial effect of certain endophytes on their plant hosts. (a) What ...
METTL16 is a class-I methyltransferase that is responsible for depositing a vertebrate-conserved S-adenosylmethionine site. Since 2017, there has been a growing body of research focused on METTL16, particularly in the field of structural studies. However
