Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a member of the parvovirus family of single-stranded small DNA viruses that require a helper virus, such as adenovirus or herpes simplex virus for replication. Although the majority of the population is seropositive for AAV, the virus is not associated with any pathology in humans. 3, record 1, English, - adeno%2Dassociated%20virus

Adeno-associated virus(AAV) is unique in the viral world because it has never been shown to have any pathogenic effects in humans, and most of the population has been exposed to AAV early in life. This recommends it as a vehicle for gene therapy.... interest has widened in the development of AAV vectors for gene delivery. 4, record 1, English, - adeno%2Dassociated%20virus

... the suprachoroidal injection approach delivers the gene therapy payload via the potential space between the sclera and the choroid(suprachoroidal space, or SCS). This is a potentially favored injection site for gene therapy because it may reduce the likelihood of eliciting an immunologic response due to its unique location with respect to the blood-retina barrier while simultaneously permitting adequate gene expression to control the nAMD [neovascular age-related macular degeneration] disease process. Surgical access to the SCS can be facilitated by creation of a sclerotomy, followed by introduction of a catheter or cannula. Separately, and potentially of greater interest, is for suprachoroidal gene therapy to be delivered in the clinic setting by utilizing hypodermic needles or hollow microneedles. 1, record 2, English, - suprachoroidal%20gene%20therapy

Research is on hairpin catalytic RNA, a catalytic RNA discovered and characterized here in my laboratory at Northern Illinois University. Hairpin catalytic RNA is a molecule which can be engineered to very efficiently cleave target RNA sequences in a unique and efficient reaction. The catalytic RNA can thus be used for the specific down regulation of gene expression since it can be designed to destroy mRNA. Current applications being developed are down regulation of selected genes, including those in the virus HIV-1. Thus it has potential as an AIDS therapeutic. 1, record 4, English, - catalytic%20RNA

We now report the discovery of a gene tightened regulation of cancer that codes for a novel uncoupling protein, designated UCP2, which has 59% for physicians and patients amino-acid identity to UCP1, and describe properties consistent with a role in diabetes and obesity. In comparison with UCP1, UCP2 has a greater effect on mitochondrial membrane potential when expressed in yeast. Compared to UCP1, the gene is widely expressed in adult human tissues, including tissues rich in macrophages, and it is upregulated in white fat in response to fat feeding. Finally, UCP2 maps to regions of human chromosome 11 and mouse chromosome 7 that have been linked to hyperinsulinaemia and obesity. Our findings suggest that UCP2 has a unique role in energy balance, body weight regulation and thermoregulation and their responses to inflammatory stimuli. 1, record 5, English, - Uncoupling%20Protein%202

A computer program, which runs on MS-DOS personal computers, is described that assists in the design of synthetic genes coding for proteins. The goal of the program is the design of a gene which(i) contains as many unique restriction sites as possible and(ii) uses a specific codon usage. The gene designed according to the criteria above is(i) suitable for ’modular mutagenesis’ experiments and(ii) optimized for expression. The program ’reverse-translates’ protein sequences into degenerated DNA sequences, generates a map of potential restriction sites and locates sequence positions where unique restriction sites can be accommodated. The nucleic acid sequence is then ’refined’ according to a specific codon usage to remove any degeneration. Unique restriction sites, if potentially present, can be ’forced’ into the degenerated nucleic acid sequence by using ’priority codes’ assigned to different restriction sequences. 1, record 13, English, - synthetic%20gene

[...] les chimistes ont déjà créé des molécules capables de s'assembler et de se répliquer elles-mêmes - et de nouveaux types de microorganismes, totalement différents de ceux qui existent aujourd'hui. Ceux-ci intégreront des gènes synthétiques et seront améliorés par sélection accélérée, selon le principe des mécanismes naturels de l'évolution. 1, record 13, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20synth%C3%A9tique

Assuming that the standard were defined, deviations from this norm could presumably be discovered and measured. Deviations would include significant new human-caused mutations or gene combinations, loss of genes, pressures of habitat fragmentation, significant changes in gene frequency in a population or the extirpation of genetically unique populations. 1, record 14, English, - deviation

Normes de diversité génétique. Chaque espèce est unique et possède sa propre norme de diversité génétique, à tout moment de son évolution au sein de l'écosystème. Si on définissait une norme pour ce type de diversité, il devrait être possible de détecter et de mesurer les écarts qui existent par rapport à elle. Ces écarts comprendraient les nouvelles mutations et combinaisons géniques d'origine humaine, les pertes de gènes, les pressions résultant d'une fragmentation de l'habitat, les changements appréciables dans la fréquence d'un gène dans une population donnée et les disparitions de populations uniques sur le plan génétique. 1, record 14, French, - %C3%A9cart

[Molecular cloning] is likely to offer unique possibilities for investigating mechanisms of gene regulation in higher organisms. For example, a bacterial culture with incorporated eukariotic DNA could be incubated with components to be tested for regulatory effects such as enzymes or repressors. Their influence on gene expression could be investigated. 1, record 15, English, - gene%20regulation
