Obviously, there are still many other problems to be overcome, including the possible effect of targeting genes and proteins which normal cells depend on for their own growth control.
So, he wrote to Tonegawa and proposed to target genes expressed postnatally in the cerebellum to study cerebellar memory.
MiRNAs do not code for proteins, but can "target" protein-coding genes and reduce their expression.
She is also targeting genes in HIV to prevent replication after infection.
By targeting multiple genes at once, additional information may be gained from a single test-run that otherwise would require several times the reagents and more time to perform.
Whereas ribozymes can be chemically designed to target specific genes and cleave them in a sequence specific manner.
To target genes in mice, this construct is then inserted into mouse embryonic stem cells in culture.
To target genes in moss, this construct is incubated together with freshly isolated protoplasts and with Polyethylene glycol.
Scientists announce that they are on the verge of creating pills that target specific genes in the human genome to increase longevity.
Researchers say the ability to target vital genes to liver cells may prove invaluable for treating a broad spectrum of hereditary and hormonal diseases.
