Genetic Techniques – Screen
If you would like to contribute to this page, please include as much of the following as possible:
- Who first introduced (invented) this technique? (a bit of history about its discovery) What is it?
- Why is it used (when to use it to produce what consequences? to study what?)?
- How does it work? (the mechanism: such as RNAi to block RNA translation)
- How is it done? (methodology)
- How much time does it take?
- Advantage or disadvantage to use such technique in research
- An example to illustrate such technique (movies, images and any other resources to accompany the explanation)
- More information
Random Worm Term
In eukaryotes, the structural unit of the genetic material consisting of a single, linear double-stranded DNA
molecule and associated proteins wrapped into a high order structure. During mitosis, chromosomes condense into compact structures visible in the light microscope. In prokaryotes, a single circular double-stranded DNA molecule constitutes the bulk of the genetic material.
