Sentences with phrase «making genes clustered»

Not exact matches

Interestingly, this study demonstrated that Igfr2, the first imprinted gene discovered by Denise Barlow in 1991, is surrounding by a large cluster of imprinted genes that extend over 10 % of the chromosome, making it the largest co-regulated domain in the genome outside of the X chromosome.

Recent advances combining the gene - editing tool CRISPR — Cas9 (for, clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats with a guiding enzyme called Cas9) are now making it easier for scientists to modify a genome such that nearly all offspring inherit the desired trait.

By doing so, they identified the cluster of genes responsible for making psilocybin (bioRxiv, doi.org/cbx2).

Over the past 3 years, a method called CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) has made editing genes a whole lot easier.

The gene cluster contains an inversion, or a strand of DNA flipped end - to - end, making it impossible for recombined DNA segments to line up properly on the chromosomes and resulting in a hopeless genetic tangle.

Methyl groups, clusters of carbon and hydrogen atoms, attach to genes and make it easier or harder for genes to receive and respond to messages from the body.

Short for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPR makes it possible for us to move genes from any living thing into another one, altering DNA for generations to come.

CYP4F2 is part of the CYP4F gene cluster, which is highly polymorphic and exhibits a high degree of linkage disequilibrium, making it difficult to define causal variants.
