Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a legume deficient of an essential amino acid methionine while wheat (Triticum aestivum) is rich in lysine. Common bean crop needs to be fortified for nutritional improvement using genetic engineering. What could be the best transformation method for transfer of that particular set of genes in to common bean genome. Elaborate some conventional and non-conventional methods that could be used

In order to similarly detect a mutation in the copy of the endogenous gene within the Drosophila genome, a mechanism for specifically detecting restriction fragments from that gene among the complex set of fragments generated in a restriction digest of the entire Drosophila genome. Remember that the Drosophila melanogaster genome consists of ~123,000 kb.

- A possible forward primer to be designed is a primer that binds to the region of the OXA-M290 gene where the start codon is located, and the reverse primer is the primer that binds to the region of the gene where the stop codon is located. In order to clone the PCR product generated using these primers into pET-28a, extra nucleotides must be added to the 5' ends of the primers. These extra nucleotides will contain the recognition sites for the restriction enzymes that are used for cloning. When the DNA produced by PCR using these primers is treated with the restriction enzymes, this will generate sticky ends at the ends of the PCR product. If pET-28a is digested with the same restriction enzymes, the sticky ends of the PCR product will bind to the sticky ends on the digested pET-28a, allowing the two DNA molecules to be connected together by DNA ligase. Which primer (forward or reverse) should contain the SacI recognition site, and which primer (forward or reverse) should contain the…arrow_forwardthis is what i have said about this image so far, what else can be said aswell including the raw count column. " Interpreting the results of an RNA-Seq analysis is pivotal in understanding the underlying genetic mechanisms of diseases such as breast cancer. In this analysis, Figure 1 provides comprehensive data on differentially expressed genes associated with breast cancer. By delving into the provided information, we can gain valuable insights into the molecular landscape of this disease. First focus is on the gene with the highest fold change, EYA4, situated on chromosome 6. With a staggering fold change of 3604.4176, EYA4 exhibits an unprecedented level of overexpression in cancerous cells compared to normal cells. This profound alteration suggests a pivotal role for EYA4 in breast cancer pathogenesis. The log2 fold change of 11.81555 further emphasizes the magnitude of this difference in gene expression. Statistical significance is evident, with an exceptionally low p-value of…arrow_forwardThe following figure shows a screen shot from the UCSC Genome Browser, focusing on a region of the human genome encoding a gene called MFAP3L.

- In Northern blot analysis, mRNA samples from tissues are bound to a labeled DNA probe that is complementary to the mRNA, and run on a gel to be visualized. The protein tropomyosin is known to be present in both brain and liver. When brain and liver tissue were assayed for the presence of tropomyosin mature mRNA, bands of two different sizes were seen.
