While there may be just under 20,000 confirmed protein coding genes, it turns out that much of the genome outside of these genes is also important in regulating how the genome is controlled. Most current technology actually focuses on looking at the bits of the genome that produce proteins.

Scientists will be testing a drug class targeting the C-reactive protein (CRP) marker of acute inflammation in the body. The protein may be involved in such conditions, and a CRP test may be used to find or monitor conditions that cause inflammation. These include inflammatory bowel disease, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

GBA1 encodes for beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), a lysosomal enzyme that is responsible for regulating the organelle’s ability to get rid of glycolipids. Despite being implicated in many cases of Parkinson’s disease, the function of LRRK2 is not fully understood, though it’s thought to regulate lysosomal function.

And unlike chemical pesticides, RNAi functions to prevent an essential protein from being made in the first place. Since pathogens and pests are the largest threat to agriculture production, some studies suggest that RNAi can be used to silence essential gene functions in pathogenic microbes, which can be viruses, bacteria or fungi.

coli bacteria, as well as lambda bacteriophage, can adapt to the alterations in the composition of their nutrient medium. Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. When activator binds to the operon, it either speeds up or permits gene expression.
