  • Aspects of FOXO3: A Longevity Gene

    by

    in

    The discussion presented by Jolois related to FOXO3, a longevity gene discovered in the brains of people living longer than 100 years. This development of gene science is thrilling and inspiring for the medical and layperson community for many reasons. First, humankind has been dreaming of eternal life for many centuries, looking for a magic…

  • The Phenomenon of Gene Editing

    by

    in

    I believe that gene editing opens a lot of opportunities for humanity, but this phenomenon must be used with caution and constantly monitored. The potential to edit the human genome for creating “designed children” reduces natural predestination (Wellcome Trust, 2016). This puts both the individual and humanity as a whole before the inevitable choice of…

  • Gene Therapy: The Wellness and Autonomy of an Individual

    by

    in

    Introduction Harris thinks that intervention such as gene therapy is appropriate when it is being used to promote the wellness and autonomy of an individual. John Harris claims that gene therapy cannot completely be termed as a form of eugenics. Vaughn (518) states, “…there is in short no moral difference between attempts to cure dysfunction…

  • The CFTR Gene: Review

    by

    in

    The CFTR gene has multiple alterations, which means that the delta-F08 mutation is not the only known one. By the research, and resting on the information provided in the table, there are many other mutations of the CFTR gene that might cause the appearance and development of the disease (Freeman et al. 121). Thus, the…

  • Gene Transfer and Genetic Engineering Mechanisms

    by

    in

    This paper discusses gene transfer mechanisms and the different genetic engineering mechanisms. Gene transfer, a natural process, can cause variation in biological features. This method is naturally utilized to develop enhanced agricultural varieties, and it is also employed to produce particular kinds in molecular biology or recombinant DNA technology (Guo et al., 2019, p. 22).…

  • Inhibition of the Fur Gene by Mutation as Potential Antimicrobial Target in Escherichia Coli

    by

    in

    Abstract Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents is a growing challenge for the development of chemotherapeutic agents. E. coli is a Gram-negative bacteria that contain pathogenic strains that lead to various illnesses including infections of the respiratory system, urinary tract and gastrointestinal system. Previous studies have reported that small molecules are being developed as chemotherapeutic agents…
