On Vacation! (Updated on November 14)
Due to some technical and non-technical issues, we will not be able to update this magazine for next 7 days. We will be back on October 27, with more articles and a tiny bit of change in the theme. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Update:
Since our problems have not been solved yet, we will be back on December 7, 2009. Sorry for any inconvenience!

ASAP Series: Genetics and Molecular Biology 10
In last episode we talked about how transcription strars or initiation of transcription. Nexst step is elongation which we will talk about it in this episode.

Last episode, we explained that there are three different steps in transcription and mentioned that we will explain the one by one in this episode. So, let's start with Initiation.

Now that we know how genetic information carries on along different generations, that's the time to explain how this information becomes converted from the form of a sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule to the form of a sequence of amino acids in a protein molecule.

One Minute Interviews- Juan Francisco Leyva Illades
"The main goal of my research is to elucidate the biological function of one particular gene, AtST10, which is highly expressed in the fruit of Arabidopsis in comparison to the rest of the other organs."
- Juan Francisco Leyva Illades.
If you want to know more about what Juan is doing for his Master's thesis project, listen to today's podcast.

But the problem happens when we look at the other strand which is called lagging strand. Since the direction of the replication fork movement for this strand is 5 prime to 3 prime, so the direction of producing the complementary strand for this lagging strand will be 3 prime to 5 prime which we explained that is impossible to happen.
If you want to know how Replication machinary has solved this problem, listen to today's podcast.

In Replication, the amount of information will stay intact but the number of molecules carrying this information duplicates. In other words, there is no increase of decrease of the genetic information of a cell when replication happens but the genetic material duplicates.

Information in a cell undergoes three biological events called:
- Replication
- Transcription and
- Translation
To know more about these events, stay tuned with our ASAP series.
