What is Mitochondrial DNA? DNA-based technologies have enormous forensic implications in the fight against crime. Mitochondrial DNA MtDNA is perfect for older, smaller or degraded samples. mitochondrial dna • mtdna • testing test • nuclear dna • ndna
Mitochondrial DNA and Genetics Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother, and is present in higher abundance than the nuclear genome, making this molecule useful in genetics studies. forensics • mitochondrial dna • mitochondrial genome • genetics • genealogy
What Is Mitochondrial mtDNA? With recent news about three parent zygotes created to replace defective maternal mitochondrial DNA, you might be wondering "What is a mitochondrion?" mitochondria mitochondrial dna • maternal mtdna • what is mitochondrion • eukaryotic cell energy power house • atp adenosine triphosphate
Cloning Extinct Animals I Is it possible to clone dinosaurs and other extinct animals? clone • cloning • dna • dolly • mammoth
DNA and Genealogy DNA studies have developed rapidly to help scientist understand biological systems and disease. Genomics are now being applied to fingerprint criminals and cousins. dna and genealogy • genealogy research • inherited traits and disease • researching family history • human genome project
BABIES WITH TWO MOTHERS, IS IT WRONG?
Last March the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in West Orange, New Jersey, reported in the Journal of Human Reproduction in the paper: “Mitochondria in human offspring derived from ooplasmic transplantation: Brief communication,” that they had produced 16 babies that had two biological mothers and that here already 30 worldwide. This information caused concern in the medical community because it implicated the modification of the human genome. Before discussing the implications of this fact, let me tell you why and how it was done. ooplasmic transfer • ovule • oocyte • mitchondria • mitochondrial dna
Cloning Dinosaurs: The Difficulties of Finding Complete DNA and a Surrogate Species What are the special difficulties associated with trying to clone dinosaurs? cloning dinosaur • dinosaur dna • dinosaur amber dna • amber dna • dionsaur dna mosquitos
Basic Cell Biology for Understanding Genetics Genetics is concerned with how traits are passed on through generations. This information, genetic material, is stored inside cells, working units that make up organisms. eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells • somatic cells and sex cells • genes dna chromosomes • cell division: mitosis and meiosis • eukaryotic cells and mitochondria

Forensic DNA Fingerprinting DNA plays an important role in modern forensic science. Today, DNA fingerprinting has become one of the primary methods of identifying people and solving crimes. dna fingerprinting profiling • crime scene victims • fingerprint evidence profiles analysis • mitochondrial • mtdna
Genetic mtDNA In Vitro Embryo Research Researchers use the genetic material from 3 people to circumvent mutations in the mother's mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA). in vitro embryo research • three parent zygote • mtdna embryo research • mitochondria dna embryo research • mt dna research
HIV Protection A mutation in the CCR5 chemokine receptor gene has been discovered that provides protection against infection by HIV-1, the most common strain in North America. ccr5 • chemokine • receptor • hiv • human immunodeficiency virus
Repopulation of Cancer Cells The regrowth of cancer cells following radiation or chemotherapy is a major cause of treatment failure. Treatments based on modifying the dose or schedule of treatment as well as the use of cytostatic molecular-targeting agent hold promise to overcome this process. repopulation of cancer cells • radiotherapy • chemotherapy • cytostatic drugs • molecular signaling pathways
Understanding Genetic Genealogy Sykes says his book is about "the history of the world as revealed by genetics." He tells his research story in a easy way that serves to demystify his conclusions. genetic genealogy • seven daughters of eve • how human evolved • development of genealogical dna • how does dna mutate
LITTLE KNOWN ASPECTS OF DNA ANALYSIS Everyone knows DNA is forensic magic, but mystery novelists could get some mileage out of the more practical problems which pop up--such as, in which kind of analysis do we invest taxpayer money? Which gives the fastest results? And who gets the bill? mystery writers • mystery novel • detective fiction • mysteries • forensic science
Radiation Oncology Great advances in radiation oncology have been made in recent years. This cancer treatment is now more effective and less harmful than in previous years. radiation oncology • x-rays • gamma rays • photons • isotopes
