Editing genomes

See also CRISP gene editing under Enzymes and endonucleases Gene editing refers to the introduction of desired changes at specific genomic loci. The original strategy for gene editing was to use…

functional assessment of non-coding DNA

Once conserved non-coding sequences (CNSs) regions have been identified, the next step is to evaluate their function in biological experiments. There are various techniques to assess regulatory function. DNASE I…

analysis of the genome

Information used to predict genes includes signals in the sequence, content statistics and similarity to known genes. As noted by Attwood (Science, 290, 2000), there are many obstacles to accurate…

Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is the application of information technology to the management and analysis of biological data with the aid of computers. Bioinformatics can be divided into 3 major divisions: 1) DNA/RNA,…
