Reflections on the ethics of genetic enhancement [PDF]

Genetics in Medicine, 2002
The technologies made available by new research in genetics and genomics have been and will be used not only to diagnose and treat disease, but also to attempt to enhance human traits and capacities. A broad definition of genetic-enhancement technologies, not merely gene manipulation, but also indirect genetic technologies, such as biosynthetic drugs ...

Selection and validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis in potato under abiotic stress

Plant Methods, 2017
Background Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most commonly used method for accurately detecting gene expression patterns. As part of RT-qPCR analysis, normalization of the data requires internal control gene(s) that display uniform expression ...

Genomics and Genetic Enhancement of Peanut [PDF]

, 2004
Cultivated peanut, also known as groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), is grown on 25.5 million hectares between latitudes 40" Nand 40° S with a total global production of 35 million Ions (MOO). Peanuts originated in South America; however, the vast majority of peanut is produced in Asia (66.8%: 23.4 Mt) /lndia Africa (24.6%: 8.6 MI).

Copper stress induces the differential expression of microRNAs in non-heading Chinese cabbage

Biologia Plantarum, 2014
To gain a deep understanding of the regulatory mechanism of Cu-responsive microRNAs (miRNAs) in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis Makino), the transcription of 10 annotated stress-inducible miRNAs and their target genes were
