The research is a further step towards the day when individuals might be able to have their own genomes sequenced and it offers hope for the fight against disease. By the time the Human Genome Project was completed, more than 10 ...The Cancer Genome Atlas Projecthttp://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/12368.aspxWed, 02 Sep 2009 18:04:44 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:12368Tim WoganResearchers are considering whether or not it's feasible to sequence the genetic mutations present in all different types of cancer in the hope of finding new treatments. A three-year pilot project is underway, and the first results have just been announced. About the Project On 26th June 2000, following 10 years of work, British Prime Minister...The Gel Electrophoresis Procedure: Part 2http://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/39972.aspxThu, 25 Jun 2009 07:51:50 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:39972ginkgo100What happens to prepared DNA samples in gel electrophoresis? Discover the straightforward facts behind the mysterious science of DNA comparison. Running the Gel Electrophoresis The gel electrophoresis apparatus consists of a sheet of gel - approximately the consistency of Jell-O - made of a water-based, cross-linked polymer. The composition of ...Comparing DNA Using Gel Electrophoresis - Part 1http://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/39971.aspxThu, 25 Jun 2009 07:40:13 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:39971ginkgo100Experts in genetics, forensics, and many other fields compare DNA sequences on a routine basis. A DNA strand is a chain of single molecules, too tiny to visualize or analyze directly. So how can DNA sequences be compared? DNA Comparison Genetics researchers have developed a multitude of methods of comparing DNA sequences . One ingenious approac...Cancer Patient´s DNA Sequenced for the First Time in Historyhttp://www.brighthub.com/science/genetics/articles/14159.aspxThu, 06 Nov 2008 08:44:13 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:14159rafhubFor the first time in history the complete genome of a cancer patient has been completely sequenced to establish the genetic mutations that had caused the disease. It's a massive breakthrough in cancer research. Researchers decoded the complete DNA sequence of a patient suffering from a specific type of cancer (acute myelogenous leukemia). The ...
