In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Transposable Elements 2. Nomenclature of Transposable Elements 3. Classes. Meaning of Transposable Elements: For a long time it was assumed that the genes have fixed chromosomal locations. Genetic recombination is a common process of a cell within which exchange between the homologous DNA sequences takes place. Over the past few [...]
In this article we will discuss about the use of transduction of genetic mapping in viruses. Viruses are the very small particles, hence they are considered unsuitable to study inheritance. Because scorable traits are not available with them. However, some of the bacterial characters have been used for inheritance and recombination studies such as plaque morphology (large or small, fuzzy [...]
In this article we will discuss about the concept, steps and applications of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Concept of PCR: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provides a simple and ingenious method for exponentially amplification of specific DNA sequences by in vitro DNA synthesis. This technique was developed by Kary Mullis at Cetus Corporation between 1983 and 1985. This technique has [...]
