Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA) | Human Genetics

The below mentioned article provides notes on Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA). Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was first described by Engvall and Perlmann (1971, 1972), and by von Weemen and Schuurs (1971, 1972). The technique was derived from the work of Nakane and Pierce (1967) which showed that antibodies could be labelled with enzymes for use in histochemical staining of tissues [...]

Mendel’s Principles with its Limitations | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the Mendel’s Principles. Also learn about its major limitations. Actually, the basic principles of heredity was formulated by Mendel in 1866 but under- standability and confirmation of Mendel's prin­ciples of heredity was clear to us after the rediscovery of Mendel's laws in 1900 by three geneticists : Correns, de Vries and Tschermark independently. [...]

Transcription by DNA Methylation | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the regulation of levels of transcription by DNA methylation. In most higher plants and animals, the DNA is often modified after synthesis by the enzymatic conversion of many cytosine bases to 5-methylcytosine bases (Fig. 5.8). The extent of methylation varies from species to species; in mammals, from 2 to 7 percent of the [...]
