human artificial chromosome

April 25 - Scientists announce that Human artificial chromosomes have been created.

In 2011, a refined human artificial chromosome called 21HAC was reported.

Germline engineering and even the engineering of human artificial chromosomes (which presently allow increased reliability) are presently being done in animals.

A human artificial chromosome (HAC) is a microchromosome that can act as a new chromosome in a population of human cells.

Artificial chromosomes, even human artificial chromosomes, have been created and patented, the scientists reported, and companies have sprung up to exploit the technology.

Yeast artificial chromosomes and bacterial artificial chromosomes were created before human artificial chromosomes, which first appeared in 1997.

Human artificial chromosome (HAC) - a microchromosome created via chromosome engineering technology carrying one or more therapeutic genes.

Human artificial chromosome may be potentially useful as a gene transfer vectors for gene delivery into human cells, and a tool for expression studies and determining human chromosome function.

His current research interests include genome sciences and their broad implications for medicine and society, human chromosome structure and function, X-inactivation and mechanisms of gene silencing, and the first reported development of human artificial chromosomes for studies of gene transfer and functional genomics.
