1. Multi-drug resistance genes have been detected in Plasmodium falciparum by PCR. 2. The methicillin resistance gene in Staphylococcus aureus has also been shown by this method. 3. We describe here the stable transformation of Trypanosoma brucei using a new selectable marker for kinetoplastid protozoa, the Sh ble, or phleomycin, resistance gene. 4. The solid black box represents the ble resistance gene. 5. And so, although the bubonic plague began in Asia, the HIV resistance gene is not there. 6. And, he said, it also suggests that the AIDS resistance gene is in the population for a reason. 7. And, they find, this AIDS resistance gene is astonishingly common in people whose ancestors lived in areas of Europe that were ravaged by the plague. 8. But if the HIV resistance gene protects against disease, it is still uncertain what disease it protects against. 9. Currently, Dr. Ronald is using the rice gene to hunt for resistance genes in other crops. 10. Exchange of plasmids is the usual way by which bacteria transfer antibiotic resistance genes among one another. |
