31. CRISPR #1: A key revelation in the CASCADE-DNA structure is that DNA is engaged with crRNAs in 5-base pair blocks, with every sixth base unpaired. It was proposed that the crRNA 'seed' containing the 5-nucleotide stretches are 'pre-ordered' for DNA pairing due to their proximity to the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). Unfortunately, the PAM nucleotides are disordered in the CASCADE-DNA structure (in addition to the opposing DNA strand). This is likely because this region is dynamic in the final X-ray structure. Why is the PAM region so important in the CRISPR mechanism?

Gene Interactions

When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.

Gene Expression

Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
