Bioinformatics provides the following tools for analysing genomic information: 1. Compiling the Accurate Sequence 2. Annotation. Tool # 1. Compiling the Accurate Sequence: To ensure that the nucleotide sequence of a genome is complete and error free, the genome is sequenced more than once. For example, using the shotgun method on the genome of the bacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa, researchers, sequenced [...]
Euthenics is a branch of applied genetics under which are studied the methods of providing, the best environmental conditions to 'nurture' to ensure complete expression of all eugenic traits in the developing children. Euthenics recommends the following methods to ensure maximum expression of genes of superior traits in the children. 1. Selection of Children with Superior Traits: The primary requirement [...]
Restriction endonuclease enzymes occur naturally in bacteria as a chemical weapon against the invading viruses. They cut both strands of DNA when certain foreign nucleotides are introduced in the cell. Endonucleases break strands of DNA at internal positions in random manner. Types of Restriction Enzymes: 1. Restriction enzyme Type I: These enzymes interact with an unmodified recognition sequence in double-stranded [...]
