Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disorder that originates in the respiratory system of individuals. It is caused by a malfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor protein (CFTR). Improved understanding of the CFTR gene has opened doors to better understand the disease itself through research and experimental procedures. Understanding the pathophysiology of the CFTR gene itself has also...

After discussing with relatives who have completed their at-home DNA tests, I have been able to determine where most of my ancestors are from. Interestingly, I am from Seminole, Anglo-Saxon, and Irish descent. Within the Anglo-Saxon culture, a very rare disease known as hemochromatosis (iron build up in the body), is commonly found here. There are two forms of hemochromatosis,...

Drosophila melanogaster, also referred to as âfruit flies,â are one of the most commonly used test subjects in genetic research. In the early 1900s, Thomas Hunt Morgan found a correlation between chromosomal mutations and heredity using fruit flies (Markow, 2015). Throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, research continued using fruit flies bringing forth notable findings such as genetic...
