Perhaps scientists could rewrite normal genes so that humans could better fight infections.
It is currently illegal, but could you alter an embryo's genes so that a disease didn't occur?
His goal was not exactly to sterilize the males but to alter their genes so that any progeny would die.
We apply spectral analysis to re-order the genes, so that genes that share regulatory relationships are more likely to be placed close to each other.
Called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), the enzyme creates random variation in these genes so that the resulting antibody proteins are better able to target never-before-seen invaders.
These findings demonstrate that bivalent domains are established to control the cell-cycle-dependent activation of developmental genes so that differentiation initiates from the G1 phase.
An individual's need for care depends on luck and genes, so that social fairness requires pooling risk.
Yet others — the class of substances that we know least about — might not damage DNA directly but chemically modify genes so that their regulation is changed.
At the gate for his flight, Grillo held a jamboree, spinning gags for the other passengers about genetically modified foods — square tomatoes that stack like bricks, tobacco with glowworm genes so that you can find your cigarettes in the dark.
Roy A. Whitfield, chief executive of Incyte, said his company, while not sequencing the entire genome, had sequenced individual genes, so that it could offer its customers accurate sequences as well as physical copies of the genes.
With years of experimentation, researchers may be able to produce drugs to treat AIDS from this newly patented gene, or they might be able to devise a way to engineer everyone's genes so that everyone becomes immune to HIV.
