Sentences with phrase «novel model organism»

There, she has established the worm C. elegans as a novel model organism to examine the cellular transformations involved during a direct reprogramming event in vivo, as well as the genetic cascade involved.

The sequencing of the human genome is gearing up all those efforts, and with each novel model organism for which the sequence has been determined, the power of comparative analysis increases.

A specific focus will be put on novel model organisms or clades that are now amenable to analysis thanks to new methodologies.

Using a novel method they developed to map chromosome breaks in a model organism, the budding yeast, Wenyi Feng, Ph.D., of Upstate Medical University and her colleagues have discovered new information as to how and where chromosome fragile sites can occur in human DNA.

Given his training in developmental biology, Raman focused the team to seek a novel drug target on genes important to the development of model organisms — fruit flies (Drosophila) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-- rather than on oncogenes that transform a normal cell into a cancer cell.

In addition, the significant number (> 1000) novel models that came from RNA - Seq that were absent from the zebrafish cDNAs suggests that the deep sequencing offered by RNA - Seq can be used to expand the gene annotation of even well - studied model organisms.

Conclusion: These findings highlight innovations specifically evolved in platyhelminths presumably associated with novel mechanisms of gene expression regulation mediated by small RNA pathways that differ to what has been classically described in model organisms.
