with particular reference to specific disorders discuss how gene therapy may be one day used to routinelytreat disease?

discuss d ways in which transgene expression in bacteria may be maximised to yield a product which may be rapidlyisolated using commercially available vectors?

i’m writing a lab report and peer review journals are necessary….it’s the lab on transformation with pGLO…I already wrote the report but I have no idea how to cite properly and i’m afraid that the professor might think that this is plagarism….

Anyways, where can i find peer review journals just on the basic importance of gene therapy with plasmids…nothing too advanced, just basic info and examples of how it is used in medicine
i need peer review journals to back up my info, i need to cite them.

I’ve heard that statement or things to its effect more than once in circles like scientific blogger communities and even some of my professor, and would like to know what people out there really think.

I’m an undergraduate biochemistry student, certain that I want to pursue further graduate education, but not certain just how. Up until recently, I was under the impression that one would have to have a Master’s degree in order to get into a PhD program, but have now learned that this isn’t the case, since it’s possible to head into a PhD program while only holding a BS (at least in some cases, right?).

I’m interested in the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering. My main career aspiration is to work in the research of vectors for gene therapy. Would it make sense to pursue a Master’s degree? Are there any disadvantages to continuing into a PhD program while skipping the Master’s stage altogether?

Any insight into this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I know they both are kinds of genetic engineering also I know Recombinat DNA is when you cut a piece of DNA and replace it by another Strand of DNA…But why?
And Gene therapy is manupulation of genes. So a good gene replaces a bad gene to correct disorders caused by genes. Both are used to correct disorders. But how are they different? Same?

-The backterium produced a protein coded for by the inserted frog gene. The bacterium containing functional frog DNA would be classified as a:

clone
DNA fingerprint
plasmid
transgenic organism

- The human genome project has involved sequencing and maping the human genome. The most recent benefit of this information has been the diagnosis of genetic disorders. Once genetic disorder is diagnosed possible treatment might be:

gene therapy
cell cultures
DNA fingerprinting
PCR

-In order to replicate DNA outside living organisms scientists use:

gel electrophresis
polymerase chain reaction
plasmids
vectors
I don’t have to worrie about failing a class im checking my sons homwork.

I need basic info about the importance of plasmids and gene therapy…nothing to advanced, just basic info to back up my essay.

What is the name of the genetic engineering in which DNA that produces human insulin is joined with the DNA of a different organism and the new merged DNA is introduced into a third rapidly multiplying organism, which then manufactures large quantities of human insulin?

– Somatic cell modification
– Somatic genetic engineering
– Gene splicing
or
-Germline gene therapy

1.To treat cystic fibrosis (CF) through gene therapy, a healthy gene that codes for the proper amino acid sequence is placed into the cells of the patient’s lung tissue. Which statement applies to this technology?

A.Airborne bacteria with the healthy gene are inhaled.
B.CF patients are infected with a virus containing the healthy gene.
C.Healthy genes are inhaled as free DNA fragments in an air sample.
D.Healthy genes are injected into lung cells through microsurgery.

2.In placing a human gene for insulin production into bacteria, the human gene is placed into which part of the bacteria?

A.plasmid
B.nucleus
C.chromosome
D.mitochondria
