6 giorni fa · In 1869, a scientist, Friedrich Miescher, had discovered an acidic, phosphorus-containing substance in the nuclei of cells. He called this substance “nuclein,” and we now know this molecule to be DNA. However, the function of “nuclein” was unknown.
2 giorni fa · DNA fingerprinting, in genetics, method of isolating and identifying variable elements within the base-pair sequence of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The technique was developed in 1984 by British geneticist Alec Jeffreys, after he noticed that certain sequences of highly variable DNA (known as minisatellites ), which do not ...

2 giorni fa · The structure of DNA was studied by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins using X-ray crystallography, which led James D. Watson and Francis Crick to publish a model of the double-stranded DNA molecule whose paired nucleotide bases indicated a compelling hypothesis for the mechanism of genetic replication.
2 giorni fa · The discovery of clustered DNA repeats took place independently in three parts of the world. The first description of what would later be called CRISPR is from Osaka University researcher Yoshizumi Ishino and his colleagues in 1987.

5 giorni fa · In the original PCR procedure, one problem was that the DNA polymerase had to be replenished after every cycle because it is not stable at the high temperatures needed for denaturation. This problem was solved in 1987 with the discovery of a heat-stable DNA polymerase called Taq , an enzyme isolated from the thermophilic bacterium ...
6 giorni fa · apply knowledge of DNA base pairings to simple calculations, recall that the double helix model of DNA was proposed by Watson and Crick, outline the contributions of Rosalind Franklin to the discovery of DNA structure.
