Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Following the success of the human genome project with 99.99% sequence accuracy, with no gaps, biotechnology has been revolutionized. Recombinant DNA technology comprises a battery of experimental procedures to isolate (clone) pieces of DNA containing specific genes. The usage of restriction enzymes for manipulating DNA and producing recombinant DNA along with advances in gene editing technology has paved way for diagnosing the candidate disease genes and treating human genetic disorders by restoring functional genes through the modification of the mutant gene or by introduction of a functional gene by Gene therapy. Array technology helps in the validation of recognized sequences, proteins, other biomolecules, drugs, etc. on a miniaturized platform. Quality management in the lab along with lab safety plans for biomedical labs requires adherence to various governmental regulations for protecting health and safety of lab employees and for the maintenance of safe working environment.

Genome analysis is carried out by genome mapping. Genetic maps can be linkage, cytogenetic or physical maps. Gene expression can be analyzed by genomics and proteomics Microarrays are emerging as useful closed systems for genomic (DNA microarray) and proteome (protein chip) analysis.
