Sentences with phrase «into host gene»

They thrive in bodily fluids and tend to get copied several times into host gene sequences, which can wreak genetic havoc and sometimes lead to cancer.

Not exact matches

Here's how it works: Scientists identify the desired genes in a plant or animal and insert them into a host such as yeast.

In this view, viruses are fugitive host genes that have degenerated into parasites.

The discovery of the master gene that sends them into action promises a host of new treatments for infections, cancer and other diseases.

The deep look into the genes of transmitted H5N1 viruses also reveals the surprising degree to which the virus can mutate and genetically diversify in each infected host, a troubling trait for a pathogen that has so far infected 637 people, killing 378.

The comparison is important and instructive because symbionts, settled into their host home, lose genes they don't need any more.

They systematically deleted genes for secreted effector proteins — molecules that the parasite injects into a host cell to modulate the immune system during infection — and injected the altered parasites into mice with aggressive ovarian cancer.

In the Lyme bacteria's genome, the VlsE gene is preceded by «cassettes» which are normally not expressed, or made into individual proteins, but can recombine with VlsE to alter the expressed protein and thus present a novel challenge to a host's immune defenses.

The parasite inserts microRNAs into the host that can silence the expression of host genes.

The transposon inserts itself almost randomly into the host cell's chromosomes, and thus, it could land in the middle of a desirable gene and cause a harmful mutation.

The researchers went into this study expecting to find that the microbes signaled the host to open up areas of chromatin to activate gene expression in the gut.

Viruses have genes composed of either DNA or RNA, and some integrate their genes into the host cell's DNA.

One could incorporate a metagenomic plasmid library into a probiotic strain and introduce the strain into a complex host — bacterial community to isolate genes that increase the strain's fitness in vivo.

It inserted its genes into host immune cells, which then produced new viruses.

It inserts its genes into the DNA of the host cell, as it normally does.

The first step in both direct and cell - based gene therapy is packaging a therapeutic transgene into a delivery vehicle (e.g., a viral vector), followed by expansion of its host cell lines to produce high - enough vector concentrations.

Sharp's screenplays are marked by a narrative complexity and situations gravid with implication and doom.1 Take the moment in the Arthur Penn - helmed Night Moves where broken - down P.I. Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman, reuniting with Penn for the first time since Bonnie and Clyde), after discovering a body in a sunken wreck off the coast of Florida, watches as his two sleazeball hosts (John Crawford and Jennifer Warren)-- who've previously exchanged an odd nod and a knowing glance in which something is silently decided about how to handle this new, inquisitive element dropped in their midst — break into a broken tango to a tune on the radio.

Introduced species means any species (including but not limited to any of its biological matter capable of propagation) that is non-native to the ecosystems of the Sanctuary; or any organism into which altered genetic matter, or genetic matter from another species, has been transferred in order that the host organism acquires the genetic traits of the transferred genes.
