Genetic Engineering
Since the dawn of man we have desired control over our surroundings. Now in the year 2006 complete control over the human construct is within reach. Bioengineering is the key to that control, also known as synthetic biology, it's the artificial creation of DNA, genes and cells that mimic, or surpa....

Genetic Screening
There is huge diversity in many features found in the human race - skin colour, size, intellectual and athletic abilities. This variation has arisen largely due to changes in the DNA determining these features. We are all different because of these differences in DNA. Any change in our genes or DNA ....

human genome project
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was formally begun in October 1990, and was completed 15 years later in 2003. The original goal of the project was to sequence all 20000-25000 genes in human DNA. That is to say, map the entire human genome, and store the information in large data bases so as to provid....
