germline

Right now, scientists are trying to determine how common the germline defect is.

When that happens, he added, it will be "only a matter of time" before they are used in human germline engineering.

Some of these mutations can be inherited through the germline.

Their goal was to discuss how, why and when germline engineering should proceed.

Genetic tests for germline mutations have social and family implications.

Parents may either be clinically affected or have germline mosaicism.

Typically, the only immortal human cells are our germline and most cancers.

It appears that those patients with germline mutations may have the worst prognosis.

Thus, they can have diploid or even triploid germline cells.

For example, something called germline manipulation may have more long-term consequences than human cloning, experts say.

But that figure could be high enough, they say, to consider screening all breast cancer patients for the presence of a germline flaw.

If the gene is inserted into the germline tissue it can be passed down to that person's descendants.

But such procedures, known as germline transplants, are not being considered for humans because of serious practical and ethical problems.

However, he added, there is nothing intrinsically unethical about germline genetic engineering.

These days it's far more effective to provide germline v-writing to inhibit the aging process.

"Approximately eleven percent have received germline v-writing, of which half are under fifteen years old."

These were expanded and used to produce germline chimeras.

This region represents the germline organization of the lambda light chain locus.

When populations contract, as in a population bottleneck, more germline mutations are lost.

He wants limits placed on germline engineering before it becomes feasible, but doubts that will happen.

I suspect you have germline v-writing in your ancestry as well."

It is a model for regeneration and development of tissues such as the brain and germline.

Notably, plants have no germline cells separate from stem cells.

When a population is expanding, more germline mutations are preserved in the population.
