Learn more about this project and its benefits for health care. The HapMap Project is an international project started in October 2002, combining the efforts of Nigeria, the United Stat...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/12677.aspxMon, 27 Oct 2008 02:17:05 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:12677ejlloydHow did the discovery of the structure of DNA come about, and what steps led to this discovery? Few discoveries have been more significant than that in which James Watson and Francis Crick determined the structure of DNA. But there’s more to the discovery than the work they did, although it is the crucial part of this XXX. However, the story ac...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/6046.aspxMon, 22 Sep 2008 16:57:26 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:6046ejlloydMitochondrial Eve, an ancient matrilineal ancestor, is perhaps the more famous of the pair, but her male counterpart, Y-chromosomal Adam, is just as interesting a figure in human evolution. Y-chromosomal Adam is the patrilineal most recent ancestor from whom all living men are descended. Like Mitochondrial Eve, this Adam is not an actual fossil spe...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/7536.aspxWed, 17 Sep 2008 16:58:37 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:7536ejlloydHave you ever wondered how genetic researchers carry out their work? Here’s a quick explanation of how DNA cloning, one of the most often-used genetic techniques, works. Step 1: Introducing a Foreign Gene into a Vector DNA cloning is a basic tool which allows researchers to produce multiple copies of a specific section of a nucleic ac...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/7535.aspxWed, 17 Sep 2008 16:52:59 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:7535ejlloydFunctional genomics is a branch of genetic research which investigates the various functions of genes and other non-coding parts of the genome. The Human Genome Project was of enormous importance—it gave us a vast amount of genetic information, with the sequence of the three billion base pairs of the human genome now determined. However, with that ...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/6045.aspxSun, 31 Aug 2008 16:44:38 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:6045ejlloydOne of the most intriguing questions in human evolution is where Homo sapiens originated. The examination of DNA from current human populations has provided some interesting evidence for one origin theory. Theories on Ancestral Origins Some time between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago, Homo erectus evolved into Homo sapiens , heralding the arrival of...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/3335.aspxTue, 29 Jul 2008 17:03:09 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:3335raj.webdezinerAlthough there have been numerous breakthroughs in the world for creating artificial life, most scientists think that the ten year prediction is a little too soon. According to some scientific sources, there are claims that scientists could be within ten years of actually creating artificial life. According to some scientific sources, there are cla...http://www.brighthub.com/science/medical/articles/3339.aspxTue, 29 Jul 2008 12:28:07 GMTb133e95a-c263-4882-8f2a-b24547eff78e:3339raj.webdezinerThe world of bioinformatics is gaining in popularity and expansion in the scientific world. Scientists and researchers have only begun to tap into the powers of this new branch of science that combines biology, mathematics, computer science and information technology all in one.
