CRISPR Recombinant DNA Flashcards
abbreviation of CRISPR
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
used as a gene editing tool, a component of bacterial immune system that can cut DNA
CRISPR
the persons that discovered CRISPR
Dr. Jennifer Doudna and Dr. Emmanuel Charpentier
the joining together of DNA molecules from different organisms, and inserting it into a host to produce new genetic combinations
Recombinant DNA technology
the people responsible for the advancement of recombinant DNA technology
Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer (1972)
is a laboratory technique that is used to determine the probable identity of a person based on the nucleotide sequences of certain regions of human DNA that is each unique to the individual
DNA fingerprinting
regions of non-coding DNA that contains repeats of the same nucleotide sequence
Short Tandem Repeats (STR)
Principles of Bioethics
Autonomy
Beneficence
Non-Maleficence
Justice
Veracity
Confidentiality
this principle of bioethics refers to respecting the decision of an individual about their body and medical treatment
autonomy
this principle of bioethics refers to the healthcare’s moral duty to promote the well-being of its patient and provide the best possible care
beneficence
this principle of bioethics is stated as “do no harm”, avoiding actions that may harm the patient
non-maleficence
this principle of bioethics addresses the fair distribution of healthcare resources and equitable treatment of individuals
justice
this principle of bioethics is the principle of truth telling
veracity
this principle of bioethics dictates that healthcare providers must protect the privacy of patient information
confidentiality
process where a specific DNA pattern, called a profile is obtained from a person or sample of bodily tissue, that also uses techniques using short tandem repeats
DNA profiling
