Introduction Generation Z, those folks born from the mid-90s to the early 2010s, are living in a whirlwind of tech growth, social media craziness, and big changes in society. They've been called "digital natives" 'cause they grew up with the internet and smartphones. This essay...
Diseases caused by dynamic mutations involve an unstable responsible mutation. Such disorders are characterized by an uncontrolled expansion of a portion of DNA within the diseased gene consisting of repeated units of three or more tandem nucleotides. Generally, there are polymorphic alleles in the genes...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited progressive neurological disorder characterised by damage neuron cells. Although genes responsible for HD can be found in every individual, but only expanded HD will cause disease. HD occurs due to the presence of HTT gene mutation...
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international collaborative project that aims to identify and mark all the positions of every gene in the human species. The HGP in the United States started in 1990 and is expected to take 15 years to map the...
The Human Genome Project, or HGP, was the first large-scale international scientific research program. The goal of the project was to determine and fully complete the nucleotide sequence that makes up the human genome and be able to map out these genes. “In addition to...
One of the greatest scientific adventures ever and at the heart of it is a small very powerful molecule DNA known as “The Secret of Life.” The human genome project showed that the majority of the 3 billion base pairs which is 99% are stuff...
Introduction to Genetic Ancestry Research Genetic ancestry research, or genetic family tree, offers individuals fascinated by family records (genealogy) a means to delve deeper than what parents or historical documents may reveal. Examination of DNA variations can provide insights into the origins of an individual’s...
