Detecting a Transposon Tag in Arabidopsis
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Throughout the first half of the 20th century, geneticists assumed that a stable genome was a prerequisite for faithfully transmitting genes from one generation to the next. Working at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the post-WWII era, Barbara McClintock found quite a different story in maize (corn). ... More »
Detecting Genetically Modified Food by PCR
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Genetic engineering is responsible for the so-called "second green revolution." Genes that encode herbicide resistance, insect resistance, draught tolerance, frost tolerance, and other traits have been added to many plants of commercial importance. In 2003, 167 million acres of farmland worldwide were ... More »

Linkage Mapping a Mutation in Arabidopsis
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Since Alfred Sturtevant constructed the first genetic map of a Drosophilachromosome in 1913, new mutations have been mapped using his method of linkage analysis. Determining the map position of a new mutation -- and its corresponding gene -- consists of testing for linkage with a number of previously ... More »
Mitochondrial Control Region
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Every human cell has a "second" genome, found in the cell's energy-generating organelle, the mitochondrion. In fact, each mitochondrion has several copies of its own genome, and there are several hundred to several thousand mitochondria per cell. This means that the mitochondrial (mt) genome is highly ...
