This photograph shows James Balow, Jr., M.S., biologist. He is inserting a GeneChip into the GeneChip fluidics station to analyze RNA from patient samples in order to identify genes that are differently expressed between patients with autoinflammatory diseases and controls. The principal investigator for this work was Daniel L. Kastner, M.D., Ph.D., who was the NIAMS Clinical Director and Chief of the Genetics and Genomics Branch.

DNA can be extracted from fish tissues and analyzed using a specific set of molecular markers to answer a variety of research questions. This includes determining whether individual fish are members of a particular species or hybrids produced by matings between two different species. It is also possible to use genetics to identify fish released from the hatchery when they are captured in the wild.
The Human Genetics department is a broadly oriented research department, zooming in on the genetic aspects of monogenous, multifactorial, and acquired diseases. Translating basic scientific findings into clinical relevance is pivotal to the department’s translational focus. Leiden, The Netherlands
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that affects ten percent of the world's population, but the genetics underlying the disease remain poorly understood.

it is interesting to see the color gradations in these plants (all seeds came from the same packet, of course) - from green with two or three dots of purple - to green spleckled with purple - to almost purple leaves, except on the edges.
The case of Dynamic Genetics versus Arnold Mann will apparently result in a finding for the plaintiff, a major corporation in the genetic therapy industry. Extensive evidence—videos, photographs, documents—makes a strong case that Arnold Mann illegally possesses patent-protected DNA. “Dynamic Genetics vs. Mann” is a thought experiment that gives a foretaste of what could be reality in the near future. Someday soon, it just might be that nation-states renounce their responsibility for citizens’ health care and turn over the job to private providers of individually tailored health insurance. The company then scans the whole genome of every policyholder and, depending on the presence of certain gene combinations that increase the probability of diseases like cancer, adjusts the amount of the premiums accordingly.
