Human Gene Evolution: Introduction and Hypothesis | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the Introduction and hypothesis of human gene evolution. Introduction to the Evolution of Human Gene: Some chromosomes appear to have been relatively protected from change during pri­mate evolution, for example human chromo­some 19 and X. By contrast other chromo­somes have been prone to significant reorgani­zation for example human chromosomes 1, 2, 3 and [...]

Human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) | Genetics

The MHC has been divided into three regions on the basis of structure, function and alloreactivity of the gene products, which-are: 1. Class - I at the telomeric ends 2. Class - II at the centromeric ends 3. Class - III, which is located between class - I and II regions. The classic class I and II genes code for [...]

Principles of Gene Transfer: An Overview

This article provides an overview on the principles of gene transfer. Classical gene therapies normally require efficient transfer of cloned genes into disease cells so that the introduced genes are expressed at suitably high levels. In principle, there are numerous different physicochemical and biological methods that can be used to transfer exogenous genes into human cells. The size of DNA [...]
