can anyone please let me know the two major differences between DNA
replication and DNA Expression pathways?
appreciate for the answer.

My name is Janak and I'm a PhD student studying at University of New
England. I would very much appreciate if you could let me know the
procedure that I could use to classify the lactobacilli bsed on colony
morphology.

If a virus is present with visible and otherwise noticable symptoms,
but fails to be detected with common lab tests, can the use of an
electron microscope be relied on to determine it's true presence? How
reliable would this method be? What time and involvement would be

I just read about ther suicide gene and found that an activated suicide
gene is too contagious mostly leading to death or other fatal diseases.
also i read that it is trying to be controlled by some drugs one of
them called as the "cousin of ethyl chloride" But this usable drug has

Second question:
I have read in several distinct places some considerations (that maybe
can be called "biophysical") about some physical priciples of bacteria
life, such as their size, their internal energy, the size of their

If a lytic virus attacks a cell which doent contain cytoplasm and
nucleic acid. The lytic virus will enter the host i mean it will inject
its DNA or RNA .  Since the host lacks cytoplasm then what happenes to
the DNA or RNA OF THE VIRUS?

It is known that as soon as we move, our muscles are at work and get
worn out and tired and so we too get tired.But our heart
muscles(cardiac muscles) never get tired and keep on running the
heart.Is there any way in future to replace other muscles by cardiac

Can someone indicate me where can I find the sequence and characteristics
of the vector pCWori+, this is not a comercial vector and I can't find the
sequence.
Thanks in Advance.

do you think it is possible to synthesize life? Is it possible to create
an artificial bacteria (I know that some years ago a completely
synthetic virus was created, but a virus is not alive).
What is the state of the art in this field?

There is no life left in biology. You can't post to Sci.Bio(heart)
because it is dead long ago. Other ngs(body) are also dead. In the end
bionet.neuroscience (brain) is also dead.
For sometime, you will see flie, animals (spam) eating dead ngs. In the
