Sentences with phrase «corresponding gene sequence»

First described in the 1990s — a discovery that led to the 2006 Nobel Prize — RNAi is a process by which organisms suppress the expression of target genes through the action of small RNA segments that bind to corresponding gene sequences.

Not exact matches

Then, using the CRISPR - Cas gene - editing tool, they spliced sequences corresponding to individual video pixels into the genome.

Since messenger RNA is nothing but the imprint of the gene whose message it is carrying, it is possible to use it to chemically generate the DNA sequence or gene it corresponds to.

Molecules of dsRNA are known to travel between body cells (any cell in the body except germ cells, which make egg or sperm cells) and can silence genes when their sequence matches up with the corresponding section of a cell's DNA.

Both studies relied on a popular lab organism known as C. elegans, a nearly microscopic nematode that is fast growing, translucent and has a sequenced genome showing that nearly half its genes are closely related to corresponding human genes.

In this way the team could create a composite image representing the sequence, and location, of RNA corresponding to every gene in the human genome.

Because genes on the Y chromosome often vary slightly in sequence — and even function — from the corresponding genes on the X, males could have slightly different patterns of gene expression throughout the body compared with females, due to not only their hormone levels, but also their entire Y chromosome.

Double - stranded RNA can silence the expression of a gene with a corresponding sequence, a process called RNA interference (RNAi).

Our cells read the sequence of chemical letters in DNA to make proteins, and the DNA corresponding to one protein is called a gene.
