Gene silencing has several specific studies including Meiotic, Transcriptional, Post-transcriptional, and Cellular components of gene silencing. Gene silencing is basically when scientists turn off a gene, so to speak.

What is the difference between the original plasmid and the recombinant plasmid?
Orginal Plasmids are extra chromosomal genetic material present in eukaryotes and some prokaryotes.Recombinant plasmids contain a gene of intrest ie,individual gene carrying a specific function can be inserted in to a specific site on original plasmid in cell culture via transformation.So the recombinant plasmid contain both gene of intrest and native genes.
Is there a pedophile gene?
There have been some recent studies in Italy suggesting that there is a genetic factor. Not a necessarily cause, but a factor that could influence the tendency towards pedophilia (and potentially other sexual deviances).
What chromosomes are responsible for dwarfism?
Some studies have isolated defects for the production of pituitary hormones to the short arm (the "p" end) of chromosome 3 at a specific location of 3p11. Other studies have found changes on the short arm of chromosome 7.
What are genes in DNA?
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains. Genes hold the information to build and maintain an organism's cells and pass genetic traits to offspring, although some organelles (e.g. mitochondria) are self-replicating and are not coded for by the organism's DNA. All organisms have many genes corresponding to various different biological traits, some of which are immediately visible, such as eye color or number of limbs, and some of which are not, such as blood type or increased risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that comprise life.A modern working definition of a gene is "a locatable region of genomic sequence, corresponding to a unit of inheritance, which is associated with regulatory regions, transcribed regions, and or other functional sequence regions ".[1][2] Colloquial usage of the term gene (e.g. "good genes", "hair color gene") may actually refer to an allele: a gene is the basic instruction, a sequence of nucleic acids (DNA or, in the case of certain viruses RNA), while an allele is one variant of that gene. Referring to having a gene for a trait, is no longer the scientifically accepted usage. In most cases, all people would have a gene for the trait in question, but certain people will have a specific allele of that gene, which results in the trait variant.
What are some mineralogists?
FOR KIDS... A person who studies minerals.
What did fruit fly studies of the for gene demonstrate?
Different alleles of the gene lead to some flies sitting and some flies roving when they forage.
Who sudies plant life?
A Botanist studies plant life there are some others who study specific specialities within the genre such as a Dendrologist who studies trees.
Who studies immunology?
A person who studies immunology is called an immunologist. Some specific doctors involved with immunology are also called allergists. Immunologists study the immune system.
What kinds of genetic testing exist?
Direct DNA sequencing examines the direct base pair sequence of a gene for specific gene mutations. Some genes contain more than 100,000 bases and a mutation of any one base can make the gene nonfunctional.

How many credit hours are needed for a masters?
Typically, a master can run anywhere from 30 credits upwards depending on the specific program of study. Some programs in general studies are 30 credits, some in business approximately 46, while others as high as 72 credits.Typically, a master can run anywhere from 30 credits upwards depending on the specific program of study.

What is difference between DNA and genes?
A gene is a section of DNA that will eventually code for a specific protein. All genes are composed of DNA but not all DNA are genes. or It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a polypeptide. or A gene is a segment of DNA that will transcript for a specific protein.

There have been some recent studies in Italy suggesting that there is a genetic factor. Not a necessarily cause, but a factor that could influence the tendency towards pedophilia (and potentially other sexual deviances).
What is allele mining?
searching of gene..... or theallele of a gene which has some significant effect
What are proteins made in cell?
The proteins that are made in the cell are the ones that the genes transcribe and thus translated into protein. Central dogma of biology is that a gene will transcribe mRNA which will then be translated into protein. Every cell has the entire human genetic code but will not produce all the possible protein. Genes are generally suppressed or inhibited. So some signal or some factor that will serve as an inhibitor of the suppressor of specific genes will cause a specific gene to be transcribed and thus specific proteins to be expressed. So in a cell whatever signals that induce transcription will make those specific proteins.
Are there special genes that makes someone humorous?
Although you may know someone named Gene who is humourous there is as yet no gene known to make a person humorous or appreciate humor. It is often reported that some folks and ethnic groups and nationalities (even some WikiAnswer supervisors) are devoid of humor, but this is not evidence that any specific gene had been bred out of them. There is some thought that if the gene exists it is sex related as guys jokes just don't fly with the gals. Some researchers are looking for it thought (See Link) There is some evidence that some social interaction is genetically coded (altruism, mother's love for children)
