ncer where the newly-discovered genes BR and AIN are known to play a role in the development of this cancer. You perform a RNA-seq analysis on a patient with this form of cancer and compare the resulting expression histogram to a healthy patient. You conclude that AIN is heavily upregulated in the cancer patient and that the cancer patient's mRNA for BR retains one of that gene's introns in the RNA-seq results. Based on this information, BR is likely a(n) _________ and AIN is likely a(n) _________ . a. oncogene; tumor-suppressor gene b. tumor-suppressor gene; tumor-suppressor gene c. oncogene; oncogene d. tumor-suppressor gene; viral gene e. tumor-suppressor gene; oncogene

Bacterial Genomics

The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.

Transformation Experiment in Bacteria

In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.

Plasmids and Vectors

The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
