Insert (molecular biology)

Environmental inserts range from exposure to radioactive radiation such as Ultraviolet, mutagenic chemicals, or DNA viruses.

These variants can range from the loss, or gain, of protein function to changes in physical structure i.e., hair, or eye, color.

The aim is to learn, understand, and possibly predict the expression of genetic material in organisms using physical and chemical analysis.

Computers having a high capacity for data and calculations which made processing the large volume of information tangible, i.e., the use of ChIP and gene sequence.

[14][15] Transcription activator-like effector nuclease, TALENs, are a set of restriction enzymes that be created to cut out desired DNA sequences.

[17] The gene gun, also known as a biolistic particle delivery system, is used to deliver transgenes, proteins, or RNA into the cell.

It uses a micro-projectile delivery system that shoots coated particles of a typical heavy metal that has DNA of interest into cells using high speed.
