the central dogma
TRANSCRIPT
Martha J. Flórez Robayo
The central dogma is the most
basic process that all the cells
have to do.
Most organisms use DNA to store
genetic information. The DNA
passes from parents to offspring
over generations.
New tool puts accurate DNA analysis in fast lane.Bioengineers’ method should lead to better database of
thermal behaviors.
One characteristic of this new
development is that cuts the time
required to analyze the DNA and
RNA strands from months to hours.
New tool puts accurate DNA analysis in fast
lane.
Typically, the researchers have been studied a
specific DNA sequence by the melting curve
analysis. Zhang said that this method is
inaccurate, because the results are not exact.
New tool puts accurate DNA analysis in fast
lane.
The innovation of this tool, its that it can measure
exact thermodynamics at the temperatures and
other variables.
New tool puts accurate DNA analysis in fast
lane.
The Rice method will be available for everyone..
Observation:
DNA research offers clues on cell mutation.
Mutations or demages can lead
to various deaseses. The
following step for making it right
would be fixing the DNA, and for
that we need RNA.
DNA research offers clues on cell mutation.
The outside and inside environment could cause
damage to the cells.
DNA research offers clues on cell mutation.
Studies show
that RNA has an
important role.
Indeed, cells
have actually
more RNA than
DNA.
DNA research offers clues on cell mutation.
Reasearch it’s been done about promising
treatments for deaseses like Aicardi-Goutieres
and cancer. This because those deaseses
have some form of alteration in chromosomal
structure.
Observation:
I think that this reasearch
would have a very
positive effect in the
future.
Medical Utility
Most of the deaseses have as starter some gene alteration, which can be treated if they’re soon diagnosed and if there is found the gene that
codifies those.
Medical Utility
Some deaseses are most likely to develop under
certain environmental circumstances, such as
temperature, stress, chemical exposure, and more.
That said, if the database comes out succesfull,
the people could know what kind of
circumstances can affect their deaseses.
Medical Utility
The technology moves so quick that in the
future we could have so much more deaseses
cured, but at the same time, environmental
conditions keep getting worse.
