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.
Types of genes linked to cancer. Many of the genes that contribute to the development of cancer fall into broad categories: Tumor suppressor genes are protective genes. Normally, they limit cell growth by monitoring how quickly cells divide into new cells, repairing mismatched DNA, and controlling when a cell dies.ermline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes increase a womanâs risk of developing hereditary breast or ovarian cancers. The most commonly mutated gene in people who have cancer is p53. In fact, more than 50% of all cancers involve a missing or damaged p53 gene. Most p53 gene mutations are acquired mutations.
