Examples of Molecular Markers | Plant Genetics

Molecular markers are DNA sequences, whose inheritance pattern can be established. Classic examples of molecular markers are: 1. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) 2. Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 3. Amplified Fragments Length Polymorphism (AFLP) 4. Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR). Example # 1. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP): This novel non-PCR based approach is based on hybridization of probe [...]

Mode of Action of Antisense RNA | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the mode of action of antisense RNA. Several possible mechanisms are involved during antisense inhibition of specific gene. Following are some of the most promising mode of actions have been suggested (Fig. 22.3). Action in the Nucleus Premise: One of the earliest methods in antisense inhibition is carried out by blocking transcription. This [...]

Bioinformatics: Concept and Development | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the concept and development of bioinformatics. Concept of Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics or life science informatics has emerged as a new branch of biotechnology, offering a fundamental tool to the biologist to accelerate commercialization of biotechnology. Bioinformatics is the classic example of convergence of biotechnology and information technol­ogy. Bioinformatics has been the most powerful tools [...]
