Summary Introduction

To predict: The circumstances in which it might be ethical to modify the genome of a human embryo.

Introduction: The techniques of biotechnology were widely used to discover the complete nucleotide sequence of the human genome. This knowledge is being used to discover medically important genes and to better understand the evolutionary relationships between human and other organisms. Many of the ethical implications of human applications of biotechnology are fundamentally the same as those involved with other medical practices.

Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.
