| Mosquito immune system engineered to block malaria Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:19 AM PST Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that the Anopheles mosquito's innate immune system could be genetically engineered to block the transmission of the malaria-causing parasite to humans. In addition, they showed that the genetic modification had little impact on the mosquito's fitness under laboratory conditions.  |
| nanoCAGE reveals transcriptional landscape of the mouse main olfactory epithelium Posted: 05 Jan 2012 07:14 AM PST The problem in biology of how to identify the promoters of olfactory receptor genes (>1000 genes) has remained unsolved due to the difficulty of purifying sufficient material from the olfactory epithelium. Researchers have now solved this problem using nanoCAGE technology, which enables comprehensive analysis of transcription start sites (TSSs) from tiny biological samples.  |
