Ethical Challenges of Germline Genetic Enhancement. [PDF]
Front Genet, 2019 The new reproductive technologies have opened the door to different processes of germline genetic enhancement by which the characteristics of an individual according to the interests of the agents involved could be selected during its gestation. Although the initiative is apparently oriented towards developing individuals that would excel in society ...

Disease Resistance and the Definition of Genetic Enhancement. [PDF]
Front Genet, 2017 Recent gene editing experiments carried out in human embryos have raised the question of whether interventions like the introduction of a CCR5-Δ32 deletion, which could provide heritable resistance to HIV infection, ought to be considered enhancements.

WormBook, 2005 A genetic enhancer is a mutation in one gene that intensifies the phenotype caused by a mutation in another gene. The phenotype of the double mutant is much stronger than the summation of the single mutant phenotypes. The isolation of enhancers can lead to the identification of interacting genes, including genes that act redundantly with respect to ...

BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is one of the most devastating pathogens of soybean. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs (21–24 nucleotides) which are endogenously produced by the plant host as part of a general gene expression ...

Cytological studies on meiosis and male gametophyte development in autotetraploid cucumber
Biologia Plantarum, 2010 With improved staining and chromosome preparation techniques, meiosis of pollen mother cells (PMCs) and male gametophyte development in autotetraploid cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) was studied to understand the correlation between chromosomes behaviour ...

Postnatal Human Genetic Enhancement – A Consideration of Children’s Right to Be Genetically Enhanced [PDF]
Frontiers in Sociology, 2016 This paper considers children’s rights with respect to genetic enhancement (GE). It is focused on the futuristic prospect of postnatal GE, namely, genetic modifications, in vivo, of actual existing individuals. More specifically, the paper examines whether, in a future reality where pre- and postnatal human GE is safely and prevalently practiced, a ...
