Not exact matches

Instead of just focusing on human DNA, which in the other studies had yielded limited results, she looked at multiple sets of genes — and not just from humans.

Our data demonstrate the feasibility of targeted gene disruption in multiple rat strains within 4 months time, paving the way to a humanized monoclonal antibody platform and additional human disease models.

The process, reported in Human Reproduction, utilizes DNA fingerprinting (an assessment of active genes in a given cell) to boost the success rate of IVF and lower the chances of risky multiple births by identifying which of several five - day - old embryos are most likely to result in pregnancy The new method, which will replace unproved alternatives such as choosing embryos based on their shape, is likely to up the success of women becoming pregnant and lower their chances of having multiple births.

Anderson and colleagues focused on the gene UBE3A, multiple copies of which causes a form of autism in humans (called isodicentric chromosome 15q).

The paper published online this month in Genetics examines a «foraging gene» humans share in common with the flies, which plays multiple roles and is found in similar places, such as the nervous system, in the muscle and in fat.

In addition, molecular studies of human colorectal cancer samples recently uncovered multiple mutations in the TRPV1 gene, though Raz noted that currently there is no direct evidence that TRPV1 deficiency is a risk factor for colorectal cancer in humanIn addition, molecular studies of human colorectal cancer samples recently uncovered multiple mutations in the TRPV1 gene, though Raz noted that currently there is no direct evidence that TRPV1 deficiency is a risk factor for colorectal cancer in humanin the TRPV1 gene, though Raz noted that currently there is no direct evidence that TRPV1 deficiency is a risk factor for colorectal cancer in humanin humans.

They report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that genes of the 1918 virus were most likely present in swine or human hosts at least 2 and possibly 15 years before the pandemic began and combined to form the deadly virus during multiple reassortments, presumably rare events in which flu viruses exchange genes.

Multiple gene - swapping events brought them together in a single killer strain, say the researchers; improving surveillance in humans and in swine could alert scientists to such events early in the future.

Saccharin was listed as an «anticipated human carcinogen» in 1981, sucralose has been shown to weakly mutate genes in test tubes, and aspartame has triggered fears about everything from autism to multiple sclerosis.

This study, which will be published Oct. 24 in eLife, and two other new Northwestern studies in Oncotarget and Cell Cycle by the Peter group, describe the discovery of the assassin molecules present in multiple human genes and their powerful effect on cancer in mice.

His team discovered these special sequences are distributed throughout the human genome, embedded in multiple genes as shown in the study in Cell Cycle.

The team identified multiple germline mutations in the human genes responsible for SNRK production that were directly associated with higher body mass index, higher waist circumference and risk of obesity in a cohort of 12,000 women who participated in the Women's Health Initiative.

For example, it appears that only recent hg19 DNA gains tend to associate with DNA losses across multiple time - periods, which is consistent with recent SINE activity in human evolution [74] following insertion into gene - rich regions that are prone to DNA loss.

Gene and cell therapies have made important medical advances over the past three decade, developing technologies and testing novel therapies in multiple human clinical trials of many diseases.

In the current study, the researchers found that EBNA2 and its related transcription factors activate some of the human genes associated with the risk for lupus and several other autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and celiac disease.

Previous honorees include David Botstein of Princeton University and Ronald W. Davis and David S. Hogness of Stanford University School of Medicine for their seminal contributions to the concepts and methods of creating a human genetic map, leading to the identification of thousands of disease genes; Julian Adams of Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Alfred Goldberg of Harvard Medical School and Kenneth Anderson and Paul Richardson, both of Dana - Farber Cancer Institute, for the development of bortezomib, a drug that has altered the lives of hundreds of thousands of people with multiple myeloma; Alain Carpentier of Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou in Paris and Robert S. Langer of MIT for innovations in bioengineering.

In humans, introns punctuate genes and support, with the help of a large molecular machine called the spliceosome, a process called splicing that allows one gene to code for multiple products.

The reversal suggests that smaller changes in multiple genes may have been the primary driver of changes in human phenotypes, and that new models are needed to retrace the genetic steps of evolution.

These mice were created and deposited by The Pleiades Promoter Project (Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics, University of British Columbia); their goal is to generate 160 fully characterized, human DNA promoters of less than 4 kb (MiniPromoters) to drive gene expression in defined brain regions of therapeutic interest for studying disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), Multiple Sclerosis, Spinocerebellar Ataxia, Depression, Autism, and Cancer.

Multiple studies have found parallels in brain structure and even identified specific gene analogues when comparing affected humans and canines.

Like the bacteria that cause gonorrhea, members of T. pallidum have multiple copies of the gene coding for the proteins that allow them to adhere to human cells — perhaps, as in the case of gonorrhea, these genes allow T. pallidum to alter their surface proteins in order to escape recognition by the immune system.
