The optogenetic catechism.

14 Oct 2009 An emerging set of methods enables an experimental dialogue with biological systems composed of many interacting cell types--in particular, with neural circuits in the brain. These methods are sometimes called "optogenetic" because they use ... Read more...

Characterization of unknown genetic modifications using high throughput sequencing and computational subtraction.

6 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: When generating a genetically modified organism (GMO), the primary goal is to give a target organism one or several novel traits by using biotechnology techniques. A GMO will differ from its parental strain in that its pool of ... Read more...

Engineering lymphocyte subsets: tools, trials and tribulations.

29 Sep 2009 Cell-based therapies with various lymphocyte subsets hold promise for the treatment of several diseases, including cancer and disease resulting from inflammation and infection. The ability to genetically engineer lymphocyte subsets has the potential ... Read more...
