SAN FRANCISCO, California -- Magnetic resonance imaging is good for looking inside our heads, spines and other body parts. Soon it might also be a tool for watching genes.

The genes in the cells of one tissue (for example, kidney cells) may -- under certain environmental conditions -- become activated and express themselves while the equivalent genes in the cells of another tissue (for example, the brain) remain inactive.

Indeed, these immobilized genes are able to conduct their business on patterned silicon substrates without the need for living cells. These biochips can act as protein microtraps, selectively trapping specific proteins from crude cell extracts with high spatial resolution.

Biochip platforms that work as artificial cells are attractive for medical diagnostics, interrogation of biological processes, and for the production of important biomolecules. ...

In a remarkable demonstration of the utility of the daisy approach, the researchers have patterned two different genes as alternating stripes on a biochip. The protein synthesized on one stripe diffuses to the second stripe where it regulates the synthesis of a second protein.

"Every animal form is the product of two processes--development from an egg and evolution from its ancestors," writes Sean B. Carroll in his introduction to Endless Forms Most Beautiful . The new science of "evo devo"--or evolutionary developmental biology--examines the relationships between those two processes, embryonic ...

Understanding the role of our genetic inheritance requires that we know how genes express themselves. One popular conception is of genes as templates stamping out each human trait whole cloth. In fact, genes operate by instructing the developing organism to produce sequences of biochemical compounds.

As I said in the video, “Genetics loads the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger.”  Make your environment one that does not allow certain genes to express themselves.
