DNA Sequence Analysis And Computer Security
Abstract In current era of ubiquitous smart devices, detecting malware is becoming an endless battel between ever evolving malware and anti-virus program which leads to increase in day-by-day processing of security related data. For detecting those malware various approaches has been developed over time. One of the approach among them is Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence…

DNA/Gene Classification Using RNN Sequential Analysis
Abstract Each active life has complex molecules in their cells called DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) which are responsible for all biological features. These DNA molecules are further reduced into grander structures called chromosomes, which together compose the beings genome. Genes are size altering DNA sequences which comprise code that are frequently used to produce proteins. There…

Techniques In Genomic DNA Extraction From Palm Oil Leaves
Introduction The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) having a place with the family Arecaceae [1], a diploid oil-delivering crop with a genomic size of 1.8 Gb [2], is one of the most important oil-bearing crops in the world. It is a large feather palm having a solitary columnar stem, short internodes, and short spines on…

Extraction Of DNA From Strawberries
Introduction Deoxyribonucleic acid, often abbreviated to DNA, is found in the nucleus of the cells of almost all living organisms on earth. DNA contains the genetic instructions for making proteins and how an organism will develop, live and reproduce, and is often referred to the building block of life for organisms (reference). DNA is arranged…

The Significance Of DNA Database
DNA database plays an important role in the world, specifically the criminal and forensic world. DNA database, in this case forensic DNA database. The term DNA database refers to a collection of DNA samples and any other evidence stored as DNA profiles. DNA database could be extremely useful during criminal investigations. For example comparing a…

Identifying An Unknown Tissue Sample Via DNA Extraction
Introduction DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic acid, contains vital coding that makes up the entirety of an organism (Lesk, 2005). These long, double helix structures contain four nucleotides which sequentially create nucleic acids, then consequently combine in different ways to form specific proteins that perform various tasks for the organism during its lifetime (Sanderson, 2007). Once the…

The Extraction Of DNA From Buccal Cells To Obtain DNA Quantification And Purity
The reuptake of dopamine within the brain is initiated by proteins referred to as Dopamine Transporters (DAT) found in-between neurons. DAT act on the pre-synaptic neurons nerve endings and allows them to absorb the dopamine neurotransmitter, thus terminating the transmission of a message. The reuptake and regulation of dopamine results in a steady and level…

Have Direct Measures Of DNA Variation Now Become Educationally Useful?
In the last few decades there has been an increasing interest on how genes affect childrens learning processes and development. Nowadays, researchers are trying to find out what exactly is contributing in education, what are the important outcomes any educational professional should know and how education can be improved. Biological factors are actually being measured…

Purification Of Plasmid pBR322 DNA From E. Coli Cells
Abstract An important method used in biology is plasmid purification. What makes this method so important is because a purified plasmid sample is essential for many experiments, including important techniques like DNA sequencing. Purified E.coli plasmid pBR322 using gel electrophoresis and a calibration curve were used in this experiment to quantify the size of the…

DNA: The Silver Bullet For Crime Scene Investigation?
Many believe that DNA is the silver bullet in a crime scene investigation, to which I strongly disagree. Quoting Chris Alpen, DNA can never replace a thoughtful, creative detective with the right resources, and that technology is ultimately a system run by humans where mistakes can and will be made, regardless of how advanced it…
