Read this article to learn about the importance of DNA fingerprinting / DNA profiling in the modern medical forensic. DNA Fingerprinting: DNA fingerprinting is the present day genetic detective in the practice of modern medical forensics. The underlying principles of DNA fingerprinting are briefly described. The structure of each person's genome is unique. The only exception being monozygotic identical twins [...]
This article throws light upon the three principles of identification of DNA sequence. The three principles are: (1) Nucleic Acid Hybridization (2) DNA Probes and (3) DNA Chip-Microarray of Gene Probes. Principle # 1. Nucleic Acid Hybridization: Hybridization of nucleic acids (particularly DNA) is the basis for reliable DNA analysis. Hybridization is based on the principle that a single-stranded DNA [...]
Read this article to learn about the process of replication, recombination and repair of DNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a macromolecule that carries genetic information from generation to generation. It is responsible to preserve the identity of the species over millions of years. DNA may be regarded as a reserve bank of genetic information or a memory bank. A single [...]
