In this article we will discuss about the Structure and Functions of DNA. Structure of DNA: DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid is a helically twisted double chain polydeoxyribonucleotide macromolecule which constitutes the genetic material of all organisms with the exception of riboviruses. In prokaryotes it occurs in nucleoid and plasmids. This DNA is usually circular. In eukaryotes, most of the [...]
The following points highlight the top seven applications of recombinant DNA technology in molecular analysis of disease. The applications are: 1. Normal Gene Variations 2. Gene Variations Causing Disease 3. Point Mutations 4. Deletions, Insertions and Rearrangements of DNA 5. Pedigree Analysis 6. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) 7. Gene Therapy. Applications of Recombinant DNA Technology: Normal Gene Variations Gene [...]
