The possibility of sequencing an entire chromosome was first discussed in 1982 and the Human Genome Project dates back to 1986. Why this desire for ever longer genome sequences? There are following reasons for this urge: 1. Significance of Knowledge of the Complete Genetic Content of a Genome 2. Access to Important Genes 3. Identification of Genes for Human Diseases [...]
The following points highlight the three ways by which sequencing of genes in isolation from rest of human genome takes place. The ways are: 1. Complementary DNA (cDNA) Sequencing 2. Using CpG Island of Locate Genes 3. DNA Sequencing for Wheat Genome. Way # 1. Complementary DNA (cDNA) Sequencing: cDNA is made by converting the mRNA content of cell is [...]
In this essay we will discuss about the outbreeding which is a negative genetic assortative mating. When a mating involves individuals that are more distantly related than the average of the selected group, it is classified as outcrossing or outbreeding which is a negative genetic assortative mating. Outbreeding involves crossing individuals belonging to different families or crossing different inbred varieties [...]
