Human gene editing to prevent genetic diseases from being passed to future generations may be permissible under certain conditions, a panel of experts says.

One gene, called ZNF659, showed over-methylation in people with schizophrenia and under - methylation in those who were bipolar, suggesting that the conditions might result from opposing gene activity (Human Molecular Genetics, DOI: 10.1093 / hmg / ddr416).

EDITS UNDER WAY Researchers in Sweden have begun editing genes in viable early human embryos (four - cell stage, shown).

«Those modern humans» selected genes under selection may prove central to a relevant process of domestication, given that these interactions may provide significant data on relevant phenotypic traits,» said Boeckx.

A line of transgenic mice was studied that express the human LDL receptor gene in the liver under control of the transferrin promoter.

Tomas Marques - Bonet of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra noted that studying gene flow between ancient humans such as Neanderthals, Denisovans and the ancestors of modern humans has revealed numerous genes under selection that affect disease and an individual's traits.

A study carried out by the Laboratoire Neurobiologie des Interactions Cellulaires et Neurophysiopathologie (CNRS / Aix - Marseille Université), in collaboration with clinicians from Marseilles Public Hospitals (AP - HM) and scientists from the Salk Institute in San Diego (US), has revealed a new gene that plays a crucial role during early development in humans and whose under - expression may induce certain autistic traits.

IN THE BEGINNING Early embryos (a four - cell embryo shown) from mice and humans look the same on the outside, but gene activity studies show some big differences under the hood.

They also attached a human gene to it that produces pro-enkephalin, a natural pain - blocking peptide, as well as a second gene that produces a blue dye, to trace the virus's path under a microscope.

Furthermore, by comparing the patterns of change in humans and chimpanzees, it was revealed that HAR - associated schizophrenia genes were under stronger evolutionary selective pressure than other schizophrenia genes.

Not only does the virus seem to protect embryos from other viruses, but it also assists genes when the groundwork is under way for the body plan of a new human.

When human genes apparently under selection were categorized using a software program that groups them according to biological function, they clustered into six different categories.

We identified human X-linked genes whose gametologs have been pseudogenized or completely lost from the Y chromosome and inferred which evolutionary forces may be acting to retain genes on the Y. Although gene loss appears to be largely correlated with the suppression of recombination, we observe that X-linked genes with functional Y homologs evolve under stronger purifying selection and are expressed at higher levels than X-linked genes with nonfunctional Y homologs.

Ana got her PhD at ICGEB and Osaka University on strategies for optimization of HBsAg expression in Pichia pastoris under the direction of Dr. Navin Khanna, and she did postdoctoral work woth Prof. Rolf Jessberger at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York where she carried out a project aimed at deciphering the mechanisms of gene targeting by recombinant adeno - associated virus in human cells.

Her first research internship was at the Comparative Genomics group of the Radboud University where she, under supervision of Martijn Huynen, made a computational tool that prioritizes genes based on human phenotypes.

One of the ten emerging technologies selected was the Human Cell Atlas, which aims to integrate research exploring all the «omes»: the genome (the full set of genes), the transcriptome (the RNA made from all genes), the proteome (the proteins), the metabolome (small molecules, such as sugars, fatty acids and amino acids, involved or generated by cellular processes), and the fluxome (metabolic reactions whose rates can vary under different conditions).

Our results establish gene conversion as a previously under - appreciated mechanism of generating copy number changes in humans and reveal the exceptionally large size of the conversion events that can occur.
