Every cell in your body contains a copy of your entire genetic makeup--some 50,000 known genes and gene variants. But to make that information useful to scientists who are trying to identify genetic markers for cancer and develop drugs that target specific genes, a tool was needed to...
Sanes has designed several lines of transgenic mice—mice with certain genetic mutations—whose genes can be identified by researchers by fluorescent tags.
The findings are significant for a field whose major goals include targeting and identifying new genes, said Stephanie B. Seminara ’87, one of the Medical School researchers affiliated with the study.
This research, to be sure, is preliminary. The study was small, and most of the average improvement in the hormone group was due to far-above-average improvement in just three men. But Pope's work suggests a genetic component to the hormonal connection. Testosterone's effectiveness is in part...
