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.
Cancer likely involves multiple gene mutations. Some evidence also suggests that genes interact with their environment, further complicating genesâ role in cancer. Doctors hope to continue learning more about how genetic changes affect the development of cancer.
