Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

The DNA Helix01:07

The DNA Helix

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the genetic material responsible for passing traits from generation to generation in all organisms and most viruses. DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides that wind around each other to form a spring-like structure called a double helix. However, the double helix is not perfectly symmetrical. Instead, there are regularly occurring grooves in the structure. The major groove occurs where the sugar-phosphate backbones are relatively far apart. This space...

Wegener and the Continental Drift Hypothesis

Wegener and the Continental Drift HypothesisIn the early 1900s, Alfred Wegener, a German scientist, proposed the Continental Drift Hypothesis, the idea that Earth’s continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea and slowly drifted apart over millions of years. Although his ideas were not widely accepted then, later discoveries provided evidence supporting continental movement, leading to the modern theory of plate tectonics. Understanding Wegener’s hypothesis helps...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Geologic Time Scale-II

Geologic Time Scale-IIThe geologic time scale helps scientists understand Earth's history by organizing it into different time periods. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras are the most recent and include major events such as the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, the formation of modern continents, and the emergence of mammals and humans. The Mesozoic Era included three periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. The Cenozoic Era is divided into the Paleogene Period and the Neogene Period.

Geologic Time Scale

Geologic Time ScaleThe geologic time scale is a system scientists use to describe the history of the Earth. It organizes Earth's 4.6-billion-year history into different periods based on major events like the formation of the planet, the appearance of life, mass extinctions, and the rise of new life forms. Studying the geologic time scale helps scientists understand how Earth and its life forms have changed over time and how different eras, periods, and epochs are connected through important...
