The phrase "alter genes in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to genetics, biotechnology, or medical research when referring to the modification of genetic material.
Example: "Scientists are exploring ways to alter genes in order to develop more effective treatments for genetic disorders."
Alternatives: "modify genes in" or "change genes in".
The report noted that in the future it may also be possible to alter genes in organisms that carry diseases, such as the mosquitoes that spread malaria.
Chinese scientists attempted to alter genes in human embryos that cause a blood disorder, beta thalassemia, in an experiment deemed ethical by a Chinese national committee because the embryos were not viable.
The conference at the National Academies of Sciences was called because a revolutionary way of editing genes — known as CRISPR-Cas9 — allows many scientists to alter genes in plants and animals quickly and inexpensively.
A similar strategy had been used to alter genes in yeast and other organisms, but most people assumed it wouldn't work in mammals.
On this week's show: A new tech to alter genes in the wild and a roundup of stories from our daily news site.
The award passed over one of the highest-profile fields of research, the so-called CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology that earlier this year allowed U.S. scientists to alter genes in a human embryo to correct a disease-causing mutation.
The corresponding oncoprints for these modules are shown in Fig. S3 highlighting sample specific alterations in each module (samples are in the columns, altered genes in the rows).
(B) Gene ontology (GO) analysis of significantly altered genes in CBX6-overexpressing cells.
In blue are the proportions for all somatically altered genes; in green are the same proportions for genes also known to have single-nucleotide alterations.
Specifically, a proportion of altered genes in SOD1 astrocytes were identified as EphB1 response genes in our mouse system (Fig. 6d).
