Sentence examples for genes and prevent from inspiring English sources

The final switch would release a toxic protein that would sterilize the genes and prevent that plant from reproducing.

Then, in test-tube manipulations, the team added three genes to the immune stem cells' DNA: one that cripples the CCR5 receptor that HIV exploits to enter the cell (this mimics a successful transplant recently done in Berlin with a much discussed patient who apparently was "cured" of his HIV infection), and two others that disable viral genes and prevent HIV from copying itself.

The pseudo-contigs were modified using a series of at least 20 N's to separate genes and prevent frame-shifts.

The chemical changes could disable genes and prevent the brain from properly regulating its response to stress.

Insulators are sequences located between enhancers and promoters of adjacent genes and prevent an enhancer from inappropriately binding to and activating the promoter of a neighbouring gene.

But low sequence conservation across species, lacking of genomic information for desert mosses and the typical tissue specificity [ 21] of the non-coding RNAs may also explain the novelty of these genes and prevent their annotation.

The gene's role is to "silence" DNA, meaning it seals off suites of genes and prevents the cell from gaining access to them.

That protein, called NRSF, blocks the expression of 64 different genes and prevents them from turning a cell into a neuron.

Pretreatment of PPARα-null mice with WY increased expression of PGC-1β and target genes and prevented the down-regulation of the mitochondrial genes by HS.

The mature microRNA remains in the RISC and binds to partially complementary sites in the mRNAs of its target genes and prevents their translation.

In embryonic and adult stem cells, PcG genes maintain cellular identity by repressing transcription of key developmental genes, such as homeobox genes, and preventing senescence through repression of the INK4A locus.
