Mutations in the K-ras gene codon 12 region can lead to cancer, forexample of the colon, pancreas, liver, spleen, stomach or lungs. TheCDKN2A/P16 gene is a familial melanoma gene. Routine PCR and DNAsequencing methods can identify exactly which point mutation is present...The let-7 microRNA Family Regulates RAS: Implications for Development and Oncogenesis
Drs. Frank Slack, Steven Johnson, and Helge Grosshans, and Ms. Kristy Reinert at Yale University, in collaboration with Ambion scientists, discovered that the microRNA (miRNA) family regulates the expression of C. elegans...Your Data: Silencing Neural Cell Adhesion Genes with In Vitro Transcribed siRNAs

MADISON - For children growing up poor, money isn't the only solution to overcoming the challenges of poverty. According to a new study, the genes and warm support received from parents also can buffer these children against many of the cognitive and behavioral problems for which poverty puts them at risk. The findings are published in the May issue of the journal Child Development....Despite confinement, crop genes can spread fast to wild
MADISON - With the slim chance that farmers will stop planting crops containing genes from other organisms, researchers have started to develop strategies that trap these foreign genes, reducing the risk that they'll spread to wild relatives. But an investigation by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota-St. Paul shows that these containment s...
