Week Six
I wanted to extract DNA out of the bacteria that I grew from my skin last week, but unfortunately I got so sick and wasn't able to do the experiment. What really interests me is extracting DNA from different people's cell and compare their different characteristic with each other. I'm really curious to see if DNA gets shorter by us aging, or if tow people that are at the same age would have DNAs of different lengths because of their different genetics. I'm really into looking at researches that have been done on how to stop shortening the DNA or how to inject foreign DNA into our DNA in order to treat a disease and be successful to pass the foreign DNA through the immune system without having to hurt the white cells. I know it sounds like a big project, but I'm considering those as a future project and for right now, I just want to start with anything that leads to that goal at the end. Below is a video that I found interesting. please take a few minutes to watch it.
