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…

The Summary In 1998 French researchers Christian Vaisse, Karine Clement, Bernard Guy-Grand & Philippe Froguel published an article A frameshift mutation in human MC4R is associated with the dominant form of obesity in the scientific journal Nature genetics. The article implies exploring the human melanocortin-4 receptor and its relation to obesity. The authors claim that…

Table of Contents Introduction Epigenetics Environment Diet Application of Epigenetics Research Conclusion References Introduction In recent years, scientists have made significant discoveries in the field of epigenetics. There was a long-held assumption that lifestyle choices cannot affect the genetics of future generations. Recent research shows that an individuals life experiences can be passed to children…

Human genome refers to the information contained in human genes. The information is stored in DNA sequences within cell nuclei and mitochondria (Michal & Schomburg 2013; Veltman & Brunner 2012). Human diploid genomes are found in body cells that are not involved in sexual reproduction while human haploid genomes are contained in sex cells that…
