Boffins Develop New Technique to Hunt Illness-causing Mutants in Non-gene DNA

... mutants in large, non-gene stretches of DNA. The development of the new technique is important because diseases can result not only from mutant genes, but also from mutations of other DNA that controls genes. "Diseases are known to occur as a consequence of deleting non-gene DNA sequences, and this new metho...

Preimplanted Genetic Screening Should Be Interpreted With Caution

... Ms Frumkin analysed 8 cell embryos at day 3 of development using the FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) technique. Two cells from each embryo were analysed, and between 5 and 9 chromosomes were investigated. The abnormal embryos were re-analysed on day 5, using the same method. By comparing FISH re...
