Genetic Change. The genetic code undergoes several changes during the process of evolution. However, despite such changes, there is preservation of the majority of characteristics of the species.

Use of chimeric nucleases to stimulate gene targeting

Gene targeting is a technique to introduce genetic change into one or more specific locations in the genome of a cell. For example, gene targeting can introduce genetic change by modifying, repairing, attenuating or inactivating a target gene or other chromosomal DNA. In one aspect, this disclosure relates to methods and compositions for gene targeting with high efficiency in a cell. This disclosure also relates to methods of treating or preventing a genetic disease in an individual in need thereof. Further disclosed are chimeric nucleases and vectors encoding chimeric nucleases.

Blood test to monitor the genetic changes of progressive cancer using immunomagnetic enrichment and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

Amplification and overexpression of theHER-2 oncogene in breast cancer is felt to be stable over the course of disease and concordant between the primary tumor and metastases. Therefore, patients with HER-2 negative primary tumors will rarely receive anti-HER-2 antibody therapy. A very sensitive blood test is used to capture circulating tumor cells (CTC's) and evaluate their HER-2 gene status by FISH evaluation. The HER-2 status of the primary tumor and corresponding CTC's is used to assess the ratio of CTC's as a reliable surrogate marker. HER-2 expression of 10 CTC's is sufficient to make a definitive diagnosis of the HER-2 gene status for the whole population of CTC's in patients with recurrent breast cancer.

Hepatocellular chimeraplasty

The present invention concerns compositions and methods for the introduction of specific genetic changes in endogenous genes of the cells of an animal. The genetic changes are effected by oligonucleotides or oligonucleotide derivatives and analogs, which are generally less than about 100 nucleotides in length. The invention provides for macromolecular carriers, optionally incorporating ligands for clathrin coated pit receptors. In one embodiment the ligand is a lactose or galactose and the genetic changes are made in hepatocytes. By means of the invention up to 40% of the copies of a target gene have been changed in vitro. Repair of mutant genes having a Crigler-Najjar like phenotype and Hemophilia B phenotype were observed.

Methods and mechanisms involving hyperpigmentation particularly for african american skin

Sets of genes are identified that show modulated activity in hyperpigmented sun-exposed (HE) and non-hyperpigmented sun-exposed (NHE) skin, when compared to non-hyperpigmented non-exposed (NHNE) skin. The modulated sets of genes reveal important information about the genetic changes that take place in skin as a result of environmental exposure and damage. The modulated sets of genes may be used to fabricate custom DNA microarrays for evaluating patients with skin diseases or disorders. The microarrays may also be used to screen new substances for treating skin diseases and disorders. The modulated gene sets, and substances that target them, may also be used to develop therapies for individuals who suffer from hypopigmentation, such as those with Fitzpatrick type I skin or vitiligo.

Metabolic evolution of escherichis coli strains that produce organic acids

This invention relates to the metabolic evolution of a microbial organism previously optimized for producing an organic acid in commercially significant quantities under fermentative conditions using a hexose sugar as sole source of carbon in a minimal mineral medium. As a result of this metabolic evolution, the microbial organism acquires the ability to use pentose sugars derived from cellulosic materials for its growth while retaining the original growth kinetics, the rate of organic acid production and the ability to use hexose sugars as a source of carbon. This invention also discloses the genetic change in the microorganism that confers the ability to use both the hexose and pentose sugars simultaneously in the production of commercially significant quantities of organic acids.
