The debate about genetic engineering was started more than twenty years ago and since that time it has not been resolved. For a very long time, this field of science has been considered either as an ultimate remedy for many of our problems or as a direct threat to the very existence of humankind. It…

One area where genetic technology using DNA works for the benefit of society is medicine. The rapid development of these technologies creates many opportunities for understanding the human body and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The information available through genomic medicine can change many lives, influence different decisions of individuals and hospitals, and transform…

DNA technology entails the sequencing, evaluation and cut-and-paste of DNA. Previously, DNA technology has involved an imagination that living organisms could get desirable characteristics by controlling the expression of specific genes in their DNA. However, in recent times, technology has been integrated into the production of valuable products, such as crucial proteins that can serve…

Table of Contents The Technology and Mechanism Utilization in Research Examples Improvements or Modifications of the Technology Conclusion Reference Ideal delivery systems for gene therapy should be safe and efficient. Non-viral DNA transposons and retro-transposons have been successfully applied in mammalian gene transfer in vitro. For example, the Sleeping Beauty (SB) system has been utilized…

Table of Contents Summary Analysis of the Paper Thoughts and Conclusions Reference Summary The article understudy is devoted to the topic of genetic association and the prognosis of phenotypic characters. In practice, the probability of successfully measuring these parameters depends on the exact determination of the human phenotype (Wollstein, et al., 2017). The study focuses…

Individuals are born with an identity, but they also need to belong to a group. However, people with genetic disorders have historically been isolated. Fear and stigmatization by others make their life unbearable as they struggle to fit in the society. Two of Buttlers fiction stories reveal some critical issues with inherited malfunctions that are…

Introduction Copy number variations (CNVs) have more impacts on DNA sequence within the human genome than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). CNVs have gained a lot of importance which are widely accepted even if there are no fully evaluated optimal methods of identifying the disparities between the two. CNV has functional attributes in genome wide associations…

All people in this world have a tendency to learn and improve their abilities over the course of their lives. Even from birth, parents teach their children the importance and necessity of learning so that in the future, the child will become a first-class professional. Parents nowadays try not to put pressure on their children…

Silencers RNA silencing is an evolutionary conserved intracellular surveillance system based on the recognition and targeting of RNAs containing regions that are double stranded. Typical roles of RNA silencing include genome defense and specification of heterochromatin formation, posttranscriptional inhibition of gene expression by miRNA and antiviral defense. RNA silencing is induced by double-stranded RNA that…

Genetic engineering implies the scientific practice of adding DNA to living organisms to create new traits that do not exist naturally. In recent years, it has attracted particular attention as a substantive number of people believe that natural processes should not be interfered with. However, from a personal perspective, genetic engineering has multiple benefits that…
