Chapter CHST3, Problem 5RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way in which the AMEL gene locus throws light on its source, that is, whether the sample of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is from a female or male.
Introduction:
Amelogenin(AMEL) is a category of closely linked proteins that are involved in amelogenesis. Amelogenesis is the process of development of enamel. The Amel gene is a single copy gene present in humansand is present on X and Y chromosomes in the forms AMELX and AMELY respectively.
