1.   Before birth, it appears that genes predominantly direct how the brain establishes basic wiring patterns.

2.   It was the beginning of nuclear transfer experiments, which had the goal of getting the newly transplanted genes to direct the development of the embryo.

3.   So far they know that the gene directs cells to make a protein that is apparently needed to prevent a sort of wild proliferation.

4.   Stowers research will concentrate on how genes direct the cells of embryos to develop into nerves, muscle and other specialized tissues.

5.   That new gene would direct the bacteria to produce the foreign protein, turning the bacteria into tiny drug factories.

6.   The gene directs cells within the prostate to make a protein, which in turn stimulates cells to grow and divide when testosterone attaches to the protein.

7.   The gene directs cells to produce a human protein that is used to treat hemophilia.

8.   The mutant gene directs cells to make an ineffective form of the enzyme, which fails to buffer the cells against free radicals.

9.   When a gene directs messenger RNA to make a protein, it activates machinery that produces a linear chain of amino acids that code for the protein.

10.   Because genes direct the production of growth factors, researchers are working on ways in which to add copies of these genes.
