We analyzed scores on six multiple-choice final exam questions about genetics or molecular genetic methods (Table S4) and compared scores on these questions to the total exam score, which consisted of 74 additional multiple-choice questions that covered all other course topics.
As molecular genetic methods improve, naturally occurring models have been augmented by genetically engineered mouse models that have been immensely valuable in advancing our understanding of retinal development and degeneration.
In addition, molecular genetic methods are used to identify specific genes responsible for genetic influence.
Molecular genetic methods are relatively new and promising.
Objective: Molecular genetic methods have significantly contributed to the knowledge about the microbiota associated with infected root canals.
Advances in molecular genetic methods have allowed the engineering of increasingly sophisticated animal models of cortical malformations and associated epilepsy.
Molecular genetic methods are particularly suited to quantifying the influences of habitat structure across large spatial extents on gene flow and population connectivity.
Conclusions: The microbiologic data of the present investigation indicated that molecular genetic methods could provide additional knowledge regarding the microbiota of acute periradicular abscesses by detecting bacterial species that are difficult or even impossible to grow.
With the successful application of molecular genetic methods to the plant alkaloid field, we now have sophisticated tools at our disposal to study regulation of enzymatic biosynthesis, as well as determining the cellular and subcellular localization of these enzymes.
