acids have been discovered, including PNA. I think that the implementation of PNA into drugs that regulate gene expression will be a major advancement in the field of molecular genetics. This molecule has the potential to regulate the symptoms of many genetic diseases, a huge step forward in the lives of those affected by genetic diseases. The one ethical issue surrounding PNA is the use of this molecule to create artificial life. The results of such an experiment are anyone's guess, and even though

Cystic fibrosis, is also known as mucoviscidosis, is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Knowing that Cystic fibrosis is a disease that can cause a lot of trouble in your body if untreated. Cystic fibrosis has three main aspects is it important to know. The first is how Cystic fibrosis is caused in the human body. Second, is how the disease affects the human body. Last, is how do you treat this disease that has entered the human

Albinism is defined as congenital disorder that are inherited as a recessive genetic trait (Oetting WS, Fryer JP, Shriram S and King RA, 2003),( Hagen EAH, Houston GC, Hoffmann MB and Morland AB, 2007). They are have either a reduced level of or no pigment in their skin, eyes or hair. This hereditary disease can be found in humans (affecting all races)( Hagen EAH, Houston GC, Hoffmann MB, Jeffery G and Morland AB, 2005),( Blachford SL, 2002). Individuals with albinism will have some form of vision

Methodology Glucocorticoids Influence on CFTR Because chloride is a major component in the fluid that is secreted from pulmonary epithelial cells, it plays an essential role for the development of fetal lungs. It was previously found that as birth approaches, CFTR levels decline sand cortisol levels increase. Which is why this study investigates the effect of glucocorticoids on the chloride channels in the lungs. In this procedure, fetal distal lung epithelial (FDLE) cells were isolated from

CRISPR has seemingly endless application possibilities and can be used to make more than double‐strand breaks near a 5′‐NGG‐3′ PAM. Researchers have some reservations regarding the Cas9 enzyme for therapeutic usage because it cannot always make precise edits without making unintended and potential lethal cuts. In 2013 Cho worked to overcome this hurdle in human cells. The strategy Cho used to enhance Cas9 specificity was to use two different Cas9 enzymes that each cut a single stand of the DNA.

There are two types of cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning is the creation of an individual who has identical nuclear genetic material (DNA) to an existing human being, and who is allowed to develop to term and beyond (bioethics.ac.uk). In this type of cloning it is the whole genetic of a single individual. There are different methods to do with this type of cloning but the most common is somatic cell nuclear transfer. The first step is to remove the nucleus

thesis - Genetics Genetics are what make up who you are. Scientists for centuries have been studying genetics on how they pass traits, how their structure matches their function, and generally how they work. How Living Organisms pass Traits Genetics are how the next generation of a species is formed. There are two different ways a new generation is formed and traits are passed, asexual and sexual reproduction. With sexual reproduction is requires two partners and leads to genetic diversity

digestive secretions, resulting in thick and tenacious secretions. The thick secretions cause obstruction of airway, ducts and passageways. The mutation of Chromosome 7 and transmission that follows an autosomal recessive pattern has been isolated to the genetic defect that leads to cystic fibrosis (Story, L. (2018). Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder most commonly inherited disease in the Caucasian population. The single gene mutation is passed from an affected parent to the children regardless

A genetically modified organism is a plant, animal where the genes have been artificially changed using genetic engineering by adding in a new gene that doesn’t belong to change or improve the organism. The reason we modify organisms is essentially to combine different genes that don’t occur naturally. The discovery of GMOS has had significant impact positively and negatively on society benefits such as increased agricultural and risks such as the possibility of new diseases need to be considered
