Boffins Identify Fifth Gene Behind Joubert Syndrome
...e discovery of mutation in the gene (RPGRIP1L) now paves the way for definitive DNA testing that can more conclusively diagnose JS in some patients, and also identify asymptomatic carriers who might unknowingly pass the condition to their future children. Apart from identifying a fifth gene for JS, the s...GAB2-A New Alzheimers Gene Identified
...ollars to achieve the same result. Moreover, it paves the way for even more advanced studies using larger sample populations, more powerful array chips that can distinguish more genetic markers, and more sophisticated methods of analyzing the data....Brain Tumor Patients Survival Depends on Predicting Treatment Responses Earlier
...th these types of drugs," said Chen. "Our research paves the way for developing drugs that could improve the lives of those with malignant brain tumors," said Chen, adding that research will continue factoring in metabolic response into drug treatment. PET is a safe, highly specialized, noninvasive imagi...First Bacterial Genome Transplantation Changing One Species to Another
...d from one species into a second microbial species paves the way for next experiments to transplant a fully synthetic bacterial chromosome into a living organism and if successful, "boot up" the new entity. There are many important applications of synthetic genomics research including development of new ...DNA Transplant Brings Creation of Artificial Life a Step Closer
...to a different species. The success of his work paves the way for future studies aimed at creating synthetic life by doing the same experimentation on a genome that has been man-made from scratch. Dr Venter, who recently applied for a patent on a DNA sequence described as the 'minimal genome', has be......ight or flee. This weakens the immunity system and paves the way for acute and chronic psychosomatic illnesses such as: Headaches and Backaches Eating disorders and Irritable bowels Asthma and Allergies Sleeplessness and Fatigue Cold Hypertension Diabetes Heart problems Ca...
