...injected into mammals, the vaccine, which contains fragments of DNA, causes the recipients' cells to produce a protein that would ordinarily be produced only by the parasite. This in turn triggers an immune response to the protein, even though the parasite is not present. Thus if the individual is later infect...Detecting DNA Damage With In-Vivo Alkaline Comet Assay
...ds to difference in size of the molecule and these fragments can be stretched out by electrophoresis. The image obtained consists of a head made up of intact DNA and a tail, which represents the fragmented DNA.

...hes the type of flu. During that process, the DNA fragments are run though a gel, which, when it is electrically charged, causes the DNA fragments to move at certain speeds depending on size. The short fragments squirt through quickly, the longer ...Scientists use plant hormones to fight cancer
...ign (CRC), a leading scientific charity, are using fragments to IAA to kill cancer cells. Indole acetic acid is harmless to humans but when bits of IAA are added with an enzyme, toxic by products, which destroyed cancer cells without harming, healthy cells were produced.
