    Table of Contents Introduction DNA Mutation Process Somatic and Germline Mutations Non-Random Mutation Conclusion Reference Introduction In the recent article “New study provides the first evidence of non-random mutations in DNA,” Harry Baker (2022) discusses the findings of Grey Monroe et al. regarding non-random DNA mutations. The scholars discovered that the thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana)…

  • Transcription and DNA Replication

    by

    in

    The central dogma of molecular biology postulates the formation of polypeptides and proteins from DNA by two processes called transcription and translation. The biological meaning of these processes, united by the name of protein biosynthesis, is the creation of protein structures in the body. These proteins are used from different angles: they can be enzymes,…

In this case, there is the genomic DNA of Bacillus Subtilis given to compare the utility of different types of DNA…

  • Genomic Data: The Role of Deoxyribonucleic Acid

    by

    in

    Introduction Deoxyribonucleic acid commonly referred to as DNA is a heredity carrier in living organisms containing genetic information on growth and development. This information and instructions determine the traits of an organism and are usually transferrable from parents to offspring through different forms of reproduction. Unlike Ribonucleic acid, DNA assumes a double-helix fabric with two…

    Introduction Despite the benefits of DNA sequencing, it is marked with issues that reduce its reliability. As shown in the article, decoding a baby’s DNA should be done or not (Karlamangla). Maverick Coltrin is among the children who have benefited from the process. They found a change in one of his genes that made him…

  • Is DNA a Foolproof Way of Identifying a Person?

    by

    in

    DNA is a unique code that identifies each person, and science keeps revealing its opportunities to find more information about humanity. Nowadays, the unique nature of DNA is utilized for multiple purposes, such as finding biological parents or victims of catastrophes and convicting criminal offenders. However, is there a guarantee that it is a foolproof…

  • DNA and RNA Transcription

    by

    in

    The process of DNA transcription takes place in several stages, during which RNA is first recorded, information from which organizes amino acids into proteins. As a result, the same sequences are transmitted in the cells, preserving certain traits. DNA must be copied and transferred to daughter cells with a vast number of nucleotides in the…
