We combine biochemical, structural, cellular and functional information using purified proteins, mutant and transgenic plants, yeast and chemical genomic screening systems,
transient gene expression assays, confocal microscopy and in silico data analysis to compare ROP - centered kinase signaling during cell polarity (in vitro pollen tubes), morphogenesis (whole plant) and pathogenesis (fungi - infected cells).

Transient Gene Expression Platform for Malaria Vaccine Development» (DOI: 10.3389 / fpls.2015.01169)
Another provocative observation from the new study was that
transient gene expression events during brain development set up broad distinctions in neural fate between cells in different areas in the cerebral cortex.
Not exact matches
A significant advantage of ZFN
gene modification, compared to retrovirus based approaches, is that only
transient transgene
expression is required to permanently engineer an HIV resistant cell.
In particular they observed for the first time a
transient pulse of
gene expression that precedes the segmentation of the human embryo into discrete parts that will become the head, trunk and limbs of the body.
We notably follow the time course of structural changes in response to cues that affect
gene expression either transiently or permanently: changes in genome structure during
transient hormonal response of differentiated cells and stable trans - differentiation of B cells to macrophages.
By looking at the
gene expression profile in single cells, the researchers were able to identify previously unknown
transient states that typified the progression from precursor to more - specialized cells.
Adenoviruses, which are part of a separate family, can also infect non-dividing cells and are generally used to achieve
transient high
gene expression.
If such seemingly
transient changes persist, they may alter the
expression of
genes needed to ward off cancer and other diseases.
For example, the
transient expression of cluster 30
genes at day 3 in vitro, which corresponds to embryonic day E6.5 (3.5 +3), matches the
expression timing of
genes such as Cerberus - like 1 and Wnt3 in vivo [48], [49].
