DNA: STRUCTURE DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the … Read more
Genetic engineering is the process of modifying an organism’s genome using biotechnology. This can be done for a variety of purposes, such as improving crop yields, developing new medicines, or creating biofuels. There are a number of different genetic engineering approaches that can be used, depending on the desired outcome. Some of the most common … Read more
Introduction And Application Of Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering Genetic engineering, the artificial manipulation, modification, and recombination of DNA or other nucleic acid Molecules in order to modify an organism or Population of organisms. The term genetic engineering initially referred to various techniques used for the modification or manipulation of organisms through the processes of heredity … Read more
1000 Genomes Project launched in January 2008, is an international research effort to establish by far the most detailed catalogue of human genetic variation. Human Genome Project HGP was an international scientific research project with a goal to determine the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up DNA and to identify and map the … Read more
Chromosomes Chromosome, the microscopic threadlike part of the cell that carries hereditary information in the form of genes. A defining feature of any chromosome is its compactness. For instance, the 46 chromosomes found in human cells have a combined length of 200 nm (1 nm = 10− 9 metre); if the chromosomes were … Read more
