For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
An F plasmid engineered to act as a cloning vector that can carry large inserts.
A library composed of cDNAs, not necessarily representing all mRNAs.
A method for the dissection of large segments of DNA, in which a cloned segment of DNA, usually eukaryotic, is used to screen recombinant DNA clones from the same genome bank for other clones containing neighboring sequences.
DNA transcribed from a messenger RNA template through the action of the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
The most popular method of DNA sequencing. It uses dideoxynucleotide triphosphates mixed with standard nucleotide triphosphates to produce a ladder of DNA strands whose synthesis is blocked at different lengths. This method has been incorporated into automated DNA-synthesis machines. Also called Sanger sequencing after its inventor, Frederick Sanger.
A section of DNA that has been inserted into a vector molecule, such as a plasmid or a phage, and then replicated to produce many copies.
An important enzyme in DNA replication and repair that seals the DNA backbone by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds.
A segment of DNA in which both strands have the same nucleotide sequence but in antiparallel orientation.
The collective techniques for obtaining, amplifying, and manipulating specific DNA fragments.
Any DNA to be used in cloning or in DNA-mediated transformation.
In a transgenic organism, the insertion of an introduced gene at a site other than its usual locus.
A vector that can carry a 35- to 45-kb insert of foreign DNA.
The use of a cloned fragment of wild-type DNA to transform a mutant into wild type; used in identifying a clone containing one specific gene.
A method of molecular separation in which DNA, RNA, or proteins are separated in a gel matrix according to molecular size, with the use of an electrical field to draw the molecules through the gel in a predetermined direction.
The inactivation of a gene by either a naturally occurring mutation or through the integration of a specially engineered introduced DNA fragment. In some systems, such inactivation is random, with the use of transgenic constructs that insert at many different locations in the genome. In other systems, it can be carried out in a directed fashion. See also targeted gene knockout.
The insertion of a genetically engineered transgene in place of a resident gene; often achieved by a double crossover
The process of producing modified DNA in a test tube and reintroducing that DNA into host organisms.
The cloning and molecular characterization of entire genomes.
(1) To form a hybrid by performing a cross. (2) To anneal complementary nucleic acid strands from different sources.
The transfer of electrophoretically separated RNA molecules from a gel onto an absorbent sheet, which is then immersed in a labeled probe that will bind to the RNA of interest.
An in vitro method for amplifying a specific DNA segment that uses two primers that hybridize to opposite ends of the segment in opposite polarity and, over successive cycles, prime exponential replication of that segment only
The identification of the DNA sequences encoding a gene of interest based on knowledge of its genetic or cytogenetic map location.
Describes a situation in which the phenotypic influence of a gene is altered by changes in the position of the gene within the genome.
Labeled nucleic acid segment that can be used to identify specific DNA molecules bearing the complementary sequence, usually through autoradiography or fluorescence.
A novel DNA sequence formed by the combination of two nonhomologous DNA molecules.
An endonuclease that will recognize specific target nucleotide sequences in DNA and break the DNA chain at those points; a variety of these enzymes are known, and they are extensively used in genetic engineering.
A DNA fragment resulting from cutting DNA with a restriction enzyme.
The transfer of electrophoretically separated fragments of DNA from a gel to an absorbent sheet such as paper; this sheet is then immersed in a solution containing a labeled probe that will bind to a fragment of interest.
A circular plasmid of Agrobacterium tumifaciens that enables the bacterium to infect plant cells and produce a tumor (crown gall tumor).
A gene that has been modified by externally applied recombinant DNA techniques and reintroduced into the genome by germ-line transformation.
An organism whose genome has been modified by externally applied new DNA.
Sanger sequencing makes use of ddNTP that blocks DNA synthesis after incorporation. How does it block DNA synthesis?
