As science has developed, we have started to focus more and more on the material that builds us all - our DNA. We have learnt about its structure, its formation and many other aspects allowing us to delve deeper into the field of science called genetics. As research has progressed, we have also started to...

Today we will try to introduce you to one of them – replication. When thinking about genetics, most of us think of the DNA helix. Two lines spinning around each other creating a screw-like shape. However, although genetics is actually based on genetic material in the form of DNA, many different processes are involved. What... Continue reading
What is DNA? - Definition, structure and function We are going to talk about genetic testing and the science of changes in our genetic material, which also consists of DNA. But what is behind these acronyms and what is the function of DNA in our body? Definition of DNA DNA is the abbreviation for the... Continue reading
Chromatin is a mass of genetic fabric composed of DNA and proteins that condenses to shape chromosomes all through eukaryotic mobileular department. Chromatin is placed withinside the nucleus of our cells. The primary function of this composed of DNA and proteins is to compress DNA into a compact unit that is smaller and can fit...

Isolation of plasmid DNA or "plasmid dna isolation" from micro organism is a critical approach in molecular biology and is an crucial step in lots of processes which includes cloning, DNA sequencing, transfection and gene therapy. These processes require the isolation of high purity plasmid DNA. The purified plasmid DNA can be used immediately in... Continue reading
Complementary DNA ( cDNA ) is a double-stranded DNA model of an mRNA molecule. In higher eukaryotes, an mRNA is a more useful predictor of a polypeptide sequence than a genomic sequence, because the introns have been spliced together. Researchers prefer to use cDNA rather than mRNA itself because RNAs are inherently less stable than... Continue reading
We are all familiar with genetics or gene, which is made up of DNA. Many young people will have first learned about genetics and DNA from the legendary film Jurassic Park, which talked about DNA and genetics to create dinosaurs. However, humans also have DNA, and for us, it can influence everything around us. Everyone... Continue reading
Recombinant DNA technology is playing a key role in improving health conditions through the development of new vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Treatment strategies are also improved through the development of diagnostic kits, monitoring devices and new therapeutic approaches. The synthesis of synthetic human insulin and erythropoietin using genetically modified bacteria and the production of new types... Continue reading
The Branched DNA Assay (bDNA) provides a unique and powerful tool for the reliable quantification of nucleic acid molecules. Fundamentally different from target amplification methods such as PCR, the bDNA assay directly measures nucleic acid molecules at physiological levels by amplifying the reporter signal, rather than replicating the target sequences as a means of detection,...

Genetic testing is a type of medical examination that identifies any changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. After getting its results, we can confirm or reject a suspected genetic disorder. In fact, the analysis also determines the risk of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. Methods of Genetic Testing First, there are several... Continue reading
