Plant Size and Culture. Liriope muscari is the taller of the two plants, growing to 18 inches with a spread of up to 12 inches. Spicata is generally shorter, though in optimum growing conditions it may get as tall as 15 inches. The plant can spread up to 2 feet. Both plants spread and reproduce by rhizomes underground.
The unique colony holding the gene sequence of interest is identified by comparing the main plate with bacterial colonies, the nitro cellulose membrane and the X-ray film. The identified colony carrying gene sequence of interest can then be extracted from the plate and grown as a step to amplify the gene of interest. Using expression vectors in creating cDNA library makes the screening of the cDNA library much easier which is done with the help of specific antibodies.
Genetics play a major role in the development of heart disease. Identifying genes that put people at increased risk could aid in the development of both prevention strategies and new treatments. But first, more study is needed to determine how the genes contribute to CAD.
