Genetics: Gene Expression

The Doppler Effect is a crucial concept for the MCAT, particularly in the Chemistry & Physics section. We'll explore how the Doppler effect occurs when a wave source moves relative to an observer, affecting the observed frequency and wavelength. Using practical examples like an a ...  Afficher plus

In this episode, we cover the topic of viruses. We explore a comprehensive range of subtopics including the definition and structure of viruses, their life cycles, and the differences between transduction and transfection. We also discuss virus classification, viral mutations, an ...  Afficher plus

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Boyan Bonev from the HelmholtzZetrum in Munich about his work on neuroepigenetics, focusing on gene regulation, chromatin architecture, and primate epigenome evolution, This Episode focuses on Dr. Bonev’s recent research, ...  Afficher plus

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with James Hackett from the EMBL in Rome about his work on epigenetic mechanisms in genome regulation and developmental programming. One of James Hackett's significant studies focused on DNA methylation and genome defense mech ...  Afficher plus

Here we survey of the causes and consequences of genetic mutation, including a discussion of mechanisms of endogenous and induced mutations, rates of mutation, types of single nucleotide mutations, and the phenotypic effects of mutation. We also discuss various mechanisms for det ...  Afficher plus

Molecular Testing Pearls

In Part 4 of our Heme Path series, we thoroughly examine the details of molecular testing and how it relates to hematologic and oncologic malignancies
