Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
It is a small area of science but one that has revolutionized certain domains such as in respect to law. With the advent of DNA, and its reliability, many formerly
convicted felons have been set free. The technology is that powerful and that reliable. Prior to the introduction of DNA testing as a valuable science, prosecutors had to rely on
eye witness testimony and other types of physical evidence. With DNA, there is no denying that someone had been in a particular place. While of course, a DNA match does
not mean someone is guilty of a crime as it only means that the individuals presence is validated, it has opened new doors for both prosecutors and defense attorneys. First,
what is this new frontier and what are its uses beyond the courtroom? DNA along with RNA is responsible for synthesizing protein (Grimes, 2003). In respect to
genotype and phenotype, it should be noted that the genes control phenotype through the synthesis of RNA (2003). A process by the name of transcription is used which is technically
the "synthesis of RNA from a DNA template" (2003). RNA then goes on to convert "the nucleic acid sequence into the amino acid sequences of Proteins" (2003). In figuring
out the Genetic Code one can see how a sequence of bases as contained in RNA and DNA determine the "sequence of amino acids" as contained in protein
(2003) . While this information may be something that many remember from High School, this so-called "revolution in biology" can be used to examine many things. For example, at the
University of Kentucky, researchers by the names of Littleton and Prendergast have identified a "molecular suspect" in respect to gender-specific brain damage, or spermidine (Wuethrich, 2001). Spermidine is actually a
