DNA sequencing

    To understand the complexities of gene structure, its expression, its regulation, protein interactions, and molecular mechanisms of genetic diseases, the detailed and exact sequences of the bases in DNA is very essential. One of the important tools used in various DNA sequencing techniques is gel electrophoresis.

DNA sequencing techniques

    The mechanism of any DNA sequencing method is based upon three steps;
  1. Step-1: To generate a piece of DNA of different sizes all starting from the same point and ending at different points.
  2. Step-2: Separation of these different sized pieces of DNA by gel electrophoresis.
  3. Step-3: Reading the sequence from the gel.
    For the generation of different sized DNA fragments, two different sequencing methods were developed during the late 1970s. They are Sanger method and Maxam-Gilbert method.

Sugar •        Sugar has been described both in history and recently as a topical wound treatment. •        The basis for its use is its high osmolality. •        Thus, it is effective in reducing edema due to its hydrophilic action. •        It has also been reported to attract macrophages, accelerate slough of devitalized tissue, provide cellular energy, and promote granulation tissue. •        Its use should be discontinued after the wound has a good bed of granulation tissue. •        It has been reported to be effective against Staph., Strep., Enterobacter, E. coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and Serratia organisms. •          It reportedly does not cause hyperglycemia. •        It should be used with caution on large wounds. Its hydrophilic action can pull more fluids, electrolytes, and proteins from the wound tissues.

Nematodes

Image
    General Characteristics: Nematodes are commonly called roundworms because, as the name suggests, they are round when viewed in cross section. They are cylindrical in structure and taper towards their anterior and posterior ends. They are bilaterally symmetrical. The sexes are separate in most species, a few are hermaphrodite. Nematodes that parasitize domestic animals are found in all parts of the body but are most commonly found in the digestive and respiratory tracts, and in the circulatory system.
