Gene Therapy: Principles and Applications | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the principles and applications of gene therapy based on targeted inhibition of gene expression in vivo. Principles and Applications of Therapy Based on Targeted Inhibition of Gene Expression In Vivo:  One way of treating certain human disor­ders is to selectively inhibit the expression of a predetermined gene in vivo. In principle, this general [...]

Examples of Pedigree Pattern | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the examples of pedigree pattern of autosomal and sex chromosomal genetic diseases. 1. Pedigree pattern of an autosomal dominant trait. Note the vertical pattern of inheritance. Solid squares and circles indicating the affected males and females while hollow squares and circles are unaffected males and females. 2. Pedigree patterns of an autosomal recessive [...]

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 [...]
