The CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) system is a revolutionary genome editing tool in molecular biology. It enables precise modification […]
Cre-lox recombination is a genetic engineering technique used to manipulate DNA in living organisms. It involves the enzyme Cre recombinase, which recognizes specific DNA sequences […]
The central dogma of molecular biology is a fundamental concept that describes the flow of genetic information in cells. It states that DNA encodes genetic […]
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a molecule that carries genetic information in living organisms. It consists of a double helix structure made up of nucleotides containing […]
RNA, or Ribonucleic Acid, is a molecule essential for various biological processes. It consists of a single strand of nucleotides, including adenine (A), uracil (U), […]
A nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes. It consists of a segment of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. […]
Retroviruses are a type of RNA virus that can reverse transcribe their RNA genome into DNA using the enzyme reverse transcriptase. This DNA is integrated […]
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system, specifically CD4 cells (T cells), weakening the body’s ability to fight infections and […]
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It primarily spreads through respiratory droplets, leading to symptoms ranging from mild respiratory issues […]
