Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) are DNA constructs, based on a functional fertility plasmid (F-plasmid). They facilitate the transforming and cloning of DNA fragments in bacterial cells, specifically E. coli. BACs are commonly used in various fields, including genetics, gene cloning, genomic research,…
In the important dance of cell division, two main players often steal the limelight: chromatids and chromosomes. Although their names are similar, their roles and features are fundamentally distinct. Understanding these differences is crucial for unraveling the mysteries of genetics and cell…
Chromosomes are long, thread-like structures, primarily made up of a single deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and several proteins. These are present in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells and carry genetic information in genes. Chromosomes are in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. They play…
