Point Mutation and Genetic Disorders
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
Mutation can be defined as any kind or form of change in the genetic code of a cell or organism. Point mutations can be defined as the genetic mutation of DNA or RNA by substituting one base with the other or loss of a nucleotide.

Genomic and cDNA Library
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
DNA library allows the extraction of particular gene from the genome. DNA library is collection of DNA fragments from an organism. But these DNA fragments are stored in another organism like the E. coli bacteria or yeast.

Types of Genetic Disorders
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
Genetic disorders are caused by the mutations or abnormalities that occur in a chromosome or genome. These abnormalities may appear phenotypically at any time of a human life. Types of mutations like single nucleotide mutation, chromosomal aberration, mitochondrial genome and also environmental factors play a role in inducing these genetic disorders in humans.

DNA Footprinting and Gene Sequencing
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
DNA footprinting is a molecular technique used to identify the specific DNA sequence (binding site) that binds to a protein. This technique mainly used to identify the tran script ion factors which bind to promoter, enhancer or silencer region of gene to regulate its expression.

DNA Technology Used in Forensics
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
Every organism has unique DNA sequences just like each individual has got unique finger print. In forensic science individuals are identified by scanning for 13 DNA regions, that vary from person to person and they use this information to create DNA profile or DNA fingerprint of that particular individual.

The Science and History of Genetics. How It Predicts the Genetic Code
By:
bluemoon silverstars
This article is about science of genetics. It gives us information about the history of genetics and tells us that Gregor Mendel was the first person who studied the process of inheritance from parents to off springs. It states that genes and DNA are the parts of chromosomes and they make up the genetic code of living beings. Brief description it also gives the brief description about mutation.
