DNA Replication Steps
DNA replication is a process, by which another copy of a double stranded DNA is produced. There are many DNA replication steps involved in this complex process. Let us have a short insight into the interesting and intriguing process of DNA replication steps.

Pros and Cons of Designer Babies
Designer babies are one's whose genetic makeup has been artificially screened and chosen by scientists via genetic engineering. This concept has raised numerous ethical issues. Let's have a look at the pros and cons of designer babies.

History of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is the body's container of genetically inherited instructions. These instructions manifest in a lifetime, in the form of common patterns of behavior or health problems, or psychosomatic relativity. The nucleic acid is essential to the growth, development and functioning of all living organisms...

Point Mutations
A change in the single base pair of a nucleotide sequence is referred to as point mutation. The genetic disease, sickle cell anemia is an example of point mutation that occurs in the coding sequence of a gene.

DNA Transcription
DNA transcription is a step in protein synthesis or central dogma, in which DNA is transcribed into mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid), before actually converting into protein molecules. Read on to know more about DNA transcription.

DNA Replication
Replication of DNA is an important process that involves a number of proteins and enzymes. This ensures that the amount of genetic material is not reduced from parent to the offspring. Read on to know more about the steps in DNA replication.

DNA Day Celebration
The DNA day, celebrated internationally on the 25th of April, is here again to commemorate the major events of genetics. Read on to understand more about the DNA day celebration.

Genetic Traits: Dimples

Genetic Testing and Screening
Genetic testing is one of the important techniques of medical science for detecting alterations in the genes and chromosomes of an individual. It helps in diagnosing genetic disorders, predicting the risks of disease occurrence and also in identifying carriers of genetic disorders.

Genetic Drift
Genetic drift is one of the important mechanisms of evolution that is more significant in small populations. Let’s discuss in detail about genetic drift and its role in the process of evolution.

Designer Babies
Designer babies is a term was coined by journalists, not doctors, and is an uncomplimentary one to question the ethics and implications of 'messing about with nature'.

Genetics and Ethics: Human Genetics Research
Those wanting to read about genes and the latest human genetics research can enlist the World Wide Web when conducting their search.

Reproductive Genetic Diagnostics
The science of genetics has entered new horizons with discovery of DNA and new nuclear techniques to combine,remove or reconstruct genes through DNA hybridization. Here in we describe few genetic techniques and their scientific background. It will be useful for the students,scholars and general practitioners. We the authors publish it here for the views of our readers as we plan to publish it in FUTURE AS A BOOK.

'Genetic Shield' May Beat Cancer
DNA offers hope of altering path of evolution, say pioneers. Humans could be close to deliberately altering their evolutionary "destiny" and one day even introducing a natural cancer vaccine into their inheritance, claimed the giants of genetic research gathered in London last night to celebrate "50 years of DNA".

The Selfish Gene - The Genetic Underpinnings of Narcissism
Is pathological narcissism the outcome of inherited traits - or the sad result of abusive and traumatizing upbringing? Or, maybe it is the confluence of both?

Lack of Cash Puts Gene Banks in Jeopardy
The world's ability to feed itself as the human population expands is in jeopardy because the gene banks where seed and plant varieties of food crops are stored are underfunded.

The deluded gene
Sociobiology is a one-dimensional tyranny that fails to consider our complexities as human beings. Do you forage alone? Or do you optimise hunter-gathering capacity when doing the weekly shop?
