BIOL1020 Semester 2, 2011. Select a topic involving recent advances in genetics of interest to you that you wish to share with your classmates. Thursday, November 3, 2011. AC5 KO Mice Live Longer. The idea of immortality has always had an immense appeal for humans. Dorothy E. Vatner, Junichi Sadoshima and other colleagues from the New Jersey Medical School have made a discovery which may take humans one step closer to such a concept. Figure 2: Extended Lifespan in AC5 KO Mice1. As mentioned earlier, AC5 ...

BIOL1020 Genetics blog
Thursday, 25 October 2012. It was not until the 1970s when gene sequencing became refined enough to shed light on molecular pleiotropic mechanisms. Current research has explored two questions; how extensive is pleiotropy in the genome and how do common mechanisms of pleiotropy work? Antagonistic pleiotropy is a reason an organism can never reach perfection in its environment. If a gene is pleiotropic and selection favours high expression for one trait and low expression for a different trait then a c...

Friedreich's Ataxia
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Unfortunately there is no cure for Friedreich’s Ataxia (FRDA) but there are several clinical trials and a patient registry which are detailed at http:/ www.curefa.org/trial.html. Sunday, April 19, 2009. FRDA can be diagnosed by doctors by a careful clinical examination which would include a detailed medical history and a physical examination. They also may perform tests such as:. 183; EMG (Electromyogram) - measures the electrical activity of muscle cells. Monday, March 30, 2009.

Glowing Tobacco Plants
Thursday, April 3, 2008. The reason that they can get a tobacco plant to glow like a firefly is because these to organisms have a very closely related genome. The essential part of this procedure is the enzyme luciferase which in fireflies catalyzes a chemical reaction between luciferin a small organic molecule that is present in the firefly and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When all three of these molecules are present a chemical reaction occurs between luciferin and ATP which emits light.
