1.   And while the genes provide instructions for the manufacture of proteins, understanding how the proteins work and interact would require another massive research project.

2.   As the programming instructions of the human cell, the genes provide all the information needed to develop, operate and maintain the human organism.

3.   For reasons not fully understood, coat protein genes provide powerful resistance to the viruses from which they come.

4.   In theory, those genes should provide the plant with more iaglu enzyme, which should convert more growth hormone into its inactive form.

5.   Kelly said the five known genes provided reliable identification markers for assessing the validity and clinical significance of the new gene that his company and Sequenom found.

6.   Once identified, the gene will provide insight into the progression of prostate cancer and help doctors determine who is more likely to develop aggressive strains.

7.   The genes provide a blueprint for connectivity but mechanical tension along axons is what creates the ridges and valleys and the final folding pattern for each brain.

8.   If so, the gene may provide lasting protection.

9.   To remain that common, a potentially lethal gene must provide some kind of advantage to such carriers.
