Abstract Optimal repair and adaptation of skeletal muscle is facilitated by resident satellite cells (satellite cells). Satellite cells are not only responsible for muscle repair

The emerging field of synthetic biology and genomic editing has sparked a biological revolution. The possible applications of these techniques for the advancement of health, technology, industry, and agriculture seem endless. However, these new advancements have also raised national security concerns. There has been an expressed concern, by the United States government, for the ease of use and accessibility of these technologies and for their use as a biological weapon (Coats, 2017). It is imperative

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) was first recognized in the 1890’s by a French Neurologist named Guillaume Duchenne. He studied cases of 13 young boys who had muscle weakness. He followed these boys from hospital to hospital continuing to study them. After performing muscle biopsies he confirmed that the weakness was from a muscle disorder, rather than neurological. He named the disorder of muscle weakening muscular dystrophy, his name was added later on. DMD is muscular disorder that causes progressive

Lessons learnt Allelic evolution Allelic evolution is a phenomenon geneticists are becoming ever more aware of as improved sequencing methods enable more, and more detailed, studies of various animals. Allelic series can not only come about when multiple alleles of different origin are found at one locus, but also when an allele with a variant causing a phenotype subsequently gains a second variant at the same locus that modifies the original phenotype. This process of allelic modification can then

Genetics lay the groundwork for how our bodies will adapt and forge into themselves throughout our lifetimes. Therefore, the health of family members in our lineage before us greatly influences our health today. My given genetics affect numerous of my daily activities and play an important role in determining who I am. When I am working out, my ability to build muscle mass is partially dependent upon my mother and fathers potential, and their potential is dependent upon their mother and fathers.
