What is the DNA double helix?

admin - March 27th, 2008 | Add comments

Scientist use the term “double helix” to describe DNA’s winding, two-stranded chemical structure. This shape - which looks much like a twisted ladder - gives DNA the power to pass along biological instructions with great precision.
To understand DNA’s double helix from a chemical standpoint, picture the sides of the ladder as strands of alternating sugar […]

Chromosomes in eukaryotes

admin - March 26th, 2008 | Add comments

Eukaryotes (cells with nuclei such as plants, yeast, and animals) possess multiple large linear chromosomes contained in the cell’s nucleus. Each chromosome has one centromere, with one or two arms projecting from the centromere, although under most circumstances these arms are not visible as such. In addition most eukaryotes have a small circular mitochondrial genome, […]

DNA Bioscience’s mtDNA sequence analysis is a valuable tool for determining whether individuals are biologically related through their mothers’ side of the family. For this reason, it is commonly referred to as a maternal lineage test.
The term mtDNA is short for mitochondrial DNA, a type of DNA that is found in the mitochondria, or energy-producing […]

Genetic Reconstruction DNA Test

admin - March 22nd, 2008 | Add comments

Genetic reconstruction is a complicated series of DNA tests that can often be performed when an alleged father is unavailable for paternity testing and other genetic tests, such as grandparent DNA testing, have been eliminated as possible testing options to indirectly determine who the father of a child is.
By comparing a child’s DNA profile to […]
