In this article we will discuss about the gene isolation and cloning of DNA. The formation of new combinations of genetic material by the insertion of nucleic acid produced outside the cell into a virus, bacterial plasmid or any other vector system to allow its incorporation into a host organism in which it is capable […]

Short Notes on Treating Genetic Disease
Article shared by :
Until recently, no real thought was given to a treating a genetic disease except for traditional methods of reducing the symptoms of the diseases. With recent developments in gene therapy, the possibility of “correcting” mutated or altered genes has come into being. For example, hemophilia is a disease causes by a defect in the gene […]
