Stem Cells Application in Modeling of Human Genetic Diseases
The use of animal models in modeling of human genetic disease has many advantages. In some cases, however, this method may not be applicable due to some limitations, such as differences in tissue composition, anatomy and physiology of humans and animals. Isogenic human disease models are a population of cells that are selected or engineered to model a specific genetic disease, in vitro. They ar...
متن کاملUsing Mobile Health to Improve Genetic and Heart Diseases Prediction
Introduction: Mobile personal health are a rapidly growing area of health information technology. Mobile personal health users are able to manage their own health data and communicate with doctors in order to improve healthcare quality and efficiency. In recent years, information and communication technologies improvements, along with mobile Internet, offering anywhere and anytime connectivity,...
متن کاملIn this issue of Mobile Genetic Elements
Because transposons are able to self-excise and self-insert into the genome, they can also be used as a tool for altering gene expression, especially in the case of transposon mutagenesis. Here, Meredith et al. describe a robust transposon mutagenesis system that they have created allowing for the creation of a large range of expression genotypes in S. aureus. This collection has allowed for th...
متن کاملMobile Genetic Elements of Nosocomial Pathogens
A significant increase in the isolation frequency of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli was observed in the haematology departments of two university hospitals in The Netherlands. Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis revealed that this increase was not caused by the emergence of unique ciprofloxacinresistant clones. Determination of the presence of class 1 integrons indicated t...
متن کاملACLAME: A CLAssification of Mobile genetic Elements
The ACLAME database (http://aclame.ulb.ac.be) is a collection and classification of prokaryotic mobile genetic elements (MGEs) from various sources, comprising all known phage genomes, plasmids and transposons. In addition to providing information on the full genomes and genetic entities, it aims to build a comprehensive classification of the functional modules of MGEs at the protein, gene and ...
