Lesson 1 Flashcards
PCR tests for detecting viruses like SARS-CoV-2 or bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Infectious disease diagnostic
Identification of oncogenes and tumor suppressor gene mutations.
Cancer diagnostic
Detection of inherited genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or BRCA mutations in breast cancer.
Genetic testing
Tailoring Treatments based on an individual’s genetic profile.
Pharmacogenomics
Molecular techniques can detect even minute amounts of DNA or RNA.
High sensitivity and specificity
Techniques like PCR provide results within hours, critical for early diagnosis and treatment.
Rapid Turn around time
Identifying genetic variations helps tailor treatments to individual patients.
Personalized medicine
Techniques like liquid biopsies enable detection of cancer biomarkers from blood sample
Non-Invasive testing

He is the First bacterial genomes sequenced
John Craig Venter (1995)
