Sentence examples for master genes that from inspiring English sources

These clusters contain the master genes that control the overall body plan of a developing embryo.

Instead, blindness seems to be caused by mutations on a reduced number of master genes that control eye development The energy needed to make an eye, which is basically a globule of protein that encapsulates water, may be less than what is needed to make the plug of fat and bone in blind cave fish.

The rationale underlying this approach is that despite the obvious molecular complexity of the cell migration process, there might be "master genes" that could induce migratory features in a stationary cell.

Since our data indicate that RNase L regulates master genes that control pluripotency (Stat3, Fzd7), myogenesis (MyoD, Stat3, Hdac5) and adipogenesis (Chop-10/Ddit3, Aebp1), we decided to differentiate C2-RNase L cells after induction of RNase L during the multipotency phase.

We note that some of the sequences identified as confamilial may have been generated by multiple active master genes that differed from one another in sequence.

However, some of the non-LTR sequences identified as confamilial may have been generated by multiple active master genes that differed from one another in sequence.

Now, MIT neuroscientists have identified what may be a master gene that controls this complex process.

A subsequent genome-wide in vivo screen using T cell-specific transposon mutagenesis identified PDCD1, which encodes the inhibitory receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1), as a master gene that suppresses oncogenic T cell signalling.

In the early 1990s, when he first identified SIR2, the master gene that controls aging in yeast, Guarente thought it unlikely that his work would eventually finger the same anti-aging genes in worms and mammals, much less humans.

They are now at work with collaborators at the University of Zurich on a project to clone and characterize genes in the sponge genome associated with many developmental and disease processes, including the universal "master gene" that controls eye development in all animals.

I asked Dr. Guarente what REALLY was at the root of the effects of this master gene that controls longevity (called SIRT-1 in humans).
