Viral Gene Expression Regulation

English | ISBN: 1607412241 | 2010 | 327 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Viral gene expression regulation refers to any of the processes by which cytoplasmic factors influence the differential control of gene action in viruses. The interplay of the viral genome with the host metabolic machinery involves modifications in both gene expression and regulation. Retroviruses have adapted themselves to use this machinery while maintaining the cell integrity, which is essential to preserve their survival. Consequently, there can be variable host pathogenicity associated with several diseases such as malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and neurological disorders. This book describes current research in the field, and gives a better understanding of the retroviral gene expression regulation that is essential to develop prevention and therapeutic strategies in the future.

GENE FAMILIES STUDIES OF DNA, RNA, ENZYMES & PROTEINS


Free Download Gouxiong Xue, "GENE FAMILIES: STUDIES OF DNA, RNA, ENZYMES & PROTEINS"
English | ISBN: 9810243847 | 2001 | 400 pages | PDF | 17 MB
The concept of isozymes, developed by Clement Markert and Freddy M÷ller in 1959, paved the way for extensive studies on enzyme, protein, and gene multiplicity across all living organisms. This volume contains 27 contributions from international researchers which focus on genes and gene families as the primary determinants of isozymes and protein multiplicity. A sampling of topics includes molecular evolution and environmental stress, transgenic fish and biosafety, and the role of carbonic anhydrase isozymes in cancer. Annotation c.

English | 2025 | ISBN: 1071641913 | 315 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB
This volume explores the latest advancements in the high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies and its uses in our understanding of complex biological processes and human diseases. The chapters in this book are organized into five parts and cover topics such as genome based-sequencing technologies, including whole genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, and metagenomic analysis; epigenome-based technologies like EM-seq, MNase-seq, and ATAC-seq; transcriptome-based sequencing technologies, including RNA-seq, scRNA-seq, mi-RNA-seq and RIL-seq; HTS modalities for structural studies of DNA including Hi-C and DamID-seq; and the potential use of HTC in clinical settings, including cancer research and treatment, and personalized medicine. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, tips on troubleshooting, and avoiding known pitfalls.

Gene Therapy for Neurological Disorders


Free Download Gene Therapy for Neurological Disorders: Molecular Approaches for Targeted Treatment
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1774916789 | 238 Pages | PDF (True) | 28 MB
Neurological illnesses pose one of the biggest hazards to the healthcare system today. This new book brings together the latest methods of gene therapy that can be used to treat both inherited and sporadic neurodegenerative diseases. It presents the most significant advances in gene transfer methods as well as the most recent understandings of the mechanisms behind specific neurodegenerative illnesses, placing these into the context of gene therapy approaches for the central nervous system. The book introduces the basics of neurodegenerative conditions and the physiological basis for their occurrence in humans. It also discusses the various proteins useful in neuro diseases and their viral applications. The book explores how stem cells can be used to learn about the future of gene therapy along with the significance of the sequences that silence genes. It discusses the functions of astrocytes in different brain regions, as well as in-vivo research in gene therapy for neurodegenerative disorders.

English | ASIN: B0D9WF8C8V | 2024 | 11 hours and 2 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 267 MB
Author: Lynne Kelly
Narrator: Jessica Douglas-Henry

Over 500,000 years ago, a single gene mutated. It spread over time, becoming critical in the journey transforming our earliest ancestors into fully modern humans, capable of navigating the entire planet and beyond. Then just a few thousand years ago, humans gradually outsourced knowledge to writing, and we displaced art and music from the heart of learning. This is the extraordinary story of the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human. Dr. Lynne Kelly recounts how a widespread congenital disorder was the critical clue she and her collaborators needed to identify the gene that has long eluded researchers into human cognition.
