Using the genotype by sequence, it is possible to develop genetic maps that can refine unordered sequences. ... In new populations, it is possible to use genotype by sequencing in creating genotype calls based on the reference map without the construction of other maps. ... When a reference map is not available, RAD markers are used in segregant analysis in identification of linked markers. ...

The History of Cloning The history behind the concept of cloning dates all the way back to 1902 when Walter Sutton proved chromosomes contained genetic information. This is what is widely accepted as the "beginning- of cloning, as we know it today. Also in 1902, Hans Spemann divided a salamand...

Cystic Fibrosis (also know as CF) is a serious genetic disease that has critical affects on the respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory systems, the bones and sweat glands and the reproductive system. In this paper, we will discuss CF and its effects on the respiratory system only. Cystic Fibrosis was first recognized in the 1930's. Children with CF have an abnormal function of a cell protein called cystic fibrosis trans membrane regulator (CFTR), which is controlling the salt (chloride) and water's movements and certain salt and water in and out of the body. As the moveme...
