Lecture 12 Gene Mutations Let`s say that we are investigating

... Let’s say that we are investigating the LacZ gene, which encodes the lactose hydrolyzing enzyme ß-galactosidase. There is a useful compound known as X-gal that can be hydrolyzed by ß-galactosidase to release a dark blue pigment. When X-gal is added to the growth medium in petri plates, Lac+ E. coli ...

... What kinds of genome variations are there? Genome variations include mutations and polymorphisms. Technically, a polymorphism (a term that comes from the Greek words "poly," or "many," and "morphe," or "form") is a DNA variation in which each possible sequence is present in at least 1% of people.

Cancer epigenetics



Cancer epigenetics is the study of epigenetic modifications to the genome of cancer cells that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. Epigenetic alterations are as important as genetic mutations in a cell’s transformation to cancer, and their manipulation holds great promise for cancer prevention, detection, and therapy. In different types of cancer, a variety of epigenetic mechanisms can be perturbed, such as silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes by altered CpG island methylation patterns, histone modifications, and dysregulation of DNA binding proteins. Several medications which have epigenetic impact are now used in several of these diseases.
