Sentences with phrase «into genes on both chromosomes»

The Science paper, by developmental biologist Ethan Bier and his student Valentino Gantz at the University of California, San Diego, used CRISPR to insert a modification into genes on both chromosomes in a pair, so that when the flies bred, they would pass the modification on to practically all of their offspring.

A gene drive (right) copies and pastes itself into chromosomes from both parents, ensuring it gets passed on more often.

The SRY (sex - determining region Y) gene on the male's Y chromosome orchestrates the formation of the testes, while the gonadal precursor will differentiate into an ovary by default (in the absence of the steroids produced by the testes).

The research team led by Rui Martinho, from the Center for Biomedical Research at University of Algarve and from Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia, and Prashanth Rangan, from University at Albany, discovered that the timing of turning the genes back on is programmed directly into the chromosomes of the ovule.

As when he worked on the human genome, Venter is relying on a radical technique called shotgun sequencing: He chops up vast amounts of DNA into tiny pieces and then uses sophisticated computer analyzers to piece them back together into intelligible genes and chromosomes.

Previous work had shown that the DNA region in question, a promoter located on chromosome 17, switches on a nearby gene coding for a protein that shuttles serotonin back into nerve cells so they can reuse it as a neurotransmitter.

The researchers also suggest that because the Y can not exchange genes with the X chromosome anymore, it uses other unusual ways to reconfigure its DNA, such as recombining with itself to add on new segments of identical DNA — or palindromes — into its genome.

Dr Melita Gordon, from the University of Liverpool's Institute of Infection and Global Health, said: «Importantly, the antibiotic resistance genes, which have previously been carried on a separate genetic package, have now been incorporated into the main chromosome of the bacteria itself, which is likely to make it easier for the Typhoid strain to retain these resistance genes.»

Cancer studies have increasingly focused on chromatin — the intertwined proteins and DNA that are packaged into chromosomes — because of its ability to regulate genes important for either activating or inhibiting tumorigenesis.

Antimicrobial resistance genes can be carried on plasmids or on mobile elements integrated into the chromosome.
