Novel artificial genomic DNA can replicate and evolve outside the cell

Scienmag

Professor Norikazu Ichihashi and his colleagues at the University of Tokyo have successfully induced gene expression from a DNA, characteristic of all life, and evolution through continuous replication extracellularly using cell-free materials alone, such as nucleic acids and proteins for the first time.

CAMP4’s funding influx paves the way for tapping regulatory RNA to treat urea cycle disorders

Pharmaceutical Technology

Ultragenyx uses adeno-associated virus 8 (AAV8) gene therapy to induce stable OTC gene expression. This treatment activates the OTC gene so that ammonia can be removed from the blood. According to Bumcrot, regRNAs are “RNAs that arise out of the non-coding genome”.

Gene Accessibility May Explain Why Alzheimer’s Gene, APOE4, is Less Dangerous for People of African Descent

Drug Discovery Today

Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have found that variations in chromatin accessibility, and thus gene expression, may explain why people of European descent with APOE4 gene variants have a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people of African descent with similar genetics.
