Document Summary
Dogma: doctrine or code of beliefs accepted as authoritative. Dogma of biology: dna rna protein. Dna synthesis occurs to replicate the dna double helix (helical structure discovered by watson and crick in 1953) Rna synthesis (transcription) occurs to give rise to the mrna transcript. Protein synthesis (translation) occurs to translate information via ribosomes from mrna transcript into amino acids by codons on mrna to form polypeptides: mechanism of epigenetics alter the protein functions, yet the dna sequence is left unmodified. A medical model that proposes the personalization of health care medical decisions are being tailored specifically to the patient by use of genetic or other bodily information. Defects in dna are the source of many types of diseases personalized medicine looks more at the genotype. Pharmacogenomics: sequencing of genome to help predict which drugs someone would respond to the best the cost of sequencing your genome is becoming less expensive and personalized medicine is becoming less expensive.
