    ABSTRACT DNA is a biological double helix molecule that makes up the genetic component of a person. In the 21st century, there are several applications of DNA’s specific and unique characteristics, such as solving a crime, finding maternity/paternity cases or even research development of genetic diseases. This efficient and accurate system called DNA fingerprinting is a way of organizing the DNA to acquire a person’s identification much like the fingerprint of a person. Unlike the actual fingerprint

    way to edit our DNA with the use of CRISPR technology. This technology allows scientists to change the DNA within our cells that could ultimately allow scientists to cure various genetic disease such as sickle cell anemia, Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis etc. The way this technology works is that the Cas9 protein seeks foreign DNA, and precisely cuts that DNA out and eventually degrades it. After the mutated DNA is removed from the double helix, the cells detect the broken DNA double helix

    Individuals utilize technology to complete even the least difficult of undertakings regular. Rather than writing things, we type them. Rather than working out a math issue, we utilize a calculator to solve our problems. Individuals will truly use their cars to drop or pick up to get the mail as opposed to walking to the mailbox. We utilize technology to make our suppers, wash our garments and use the bathroom, which is the reason individuals hate blackouts. Table games are out of date. Presently

    result of these processes are genetically modified organisms; organisms which consist of foreign DNA integrated into the organism. This foreign DNA is known as recombinant DNA which contains two sources of DNA; this recombinant DNA allows the organism to specifically produce the protein from the directions of that DNA. Currently, scientists utilize two methods of cloning DNA: genetic recombinant technology and polymerase chain reaction. The recombinant technique consist of four steps: isolation, ligation

    DNA electrophoreses was developed in 1984 by Dr. Alex Jeffreys. The use of DNA electrophoresis quickly became a way to convict criminals of crimes. DNA electrophoresis has also helped identify genetic diseases markers as well as the identification of the remains of humans. (DNA Fingerprinting - ID of DNA Restriction Fragmentation Patterns). In order to create a DNA fingerprint, a sample of cells containing DNA must be obtained first. This may be in the form of hair, blood, or skin. DNA is extracted

    is becoming. Why does nature spew new innovations? Because in order to survive, all living things have to overcome numerous obstacles in life. Therefore, scientists are constantly developing new technologies to reduce the hurdles of humans. This includes the method of genome-editing that may alter human DNA. However, there are many concern about the consequences of genome alteration as this will affect the individual and their future generation (Wade). We don’t know for certain what lies beyond this

    recombinant DNA technology has been a huge advancement to science. In the early 1970s the first recombinant DNA was produced (“1972 First”, 2013). Researchers Stanley Cohen and Hebert Boyer used restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sites, and then fused them back together to form their recombinant vector (“1972 First”, 2013; Cederbaum, S., et al., 1984). Through transformation the vector is then inserted into a host cell to amplify their hybrid DNA, also known as recombinant DNA (“1972 First”

    The Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR Associated System (CAS) is an advancement in technology that transformed a previous protein-based targeting (TALEN and Zinc Finger) process used to target and splice genes or DNA sequences. CRISPR-Cas9 was discovered in 2013 by Feng Zhang from the Broad Institute and MIT. CRISPR-Cas9 targets specific base pairs using small RNA that can be easily swapped for many different RNA targeting sites. This allowed CRISPR-Cas9
