Mice with a mixture of the two genes were found to be protected against S. typhi infection.
Amazingly, the two genes were almost exactly the same--meaning they had been conserved through millions of years of evolution.
Certain fruit flies fail to develop eyes, a defect that has been traced to mutations in either of two genes.
Two genes predict one's risk of getting the devastating eye disease macular degeneration--and your chances of going blind once you have it.
In combination, these two genes make the Atlantic salmon grow to maturity in just 18 months, instead of the normal 3 years.
The breast cancer test looks for changes, or mutations, in two genes.
Two genes were involved in the balance of calcium in the brain.
Patients with either of two genes associated with autoimmune disorders, HLA-DR2 and HLA-DR4, have gone five years without any progression of the disease.
Two genes, which normally produce two separate proteins, become fused together.
The case involved Myriad Genetics, which holds the patent rights on two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, that are associated with increased risks for breast and ovarian cancer.
Researchers at Decode Genetics in Iceland have found two genes in Icelanders that appear to improve the chances of living past 90 by protecting brain cells from damage and disease.
's patents on two genes linked to increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer say patent protection should not be given to something that can be found inside the human body.
Dr Meterissian presented the results of a study showing how two genes, called bcl-2 and p53, could be used to predict the responses to different treatments of patients with breast cancer.
They identified two genes - zipper and lgl - which they found worked together to change the make up of sperm cells, making it impossible for them to fertilise uninfected eggs.
INSERM, a French medical research agency, who is based at the University of the Mediterranean in Marseille, has found that 70% of the susceptibility to schistosomiasis is under the control of one or two genes that regulate liver repair.
ECONOMIST: Genetics and infectious disease: The germ of an idea | The
In order to be useful, Tautigian says, a prostate cancer test would not only have to test for at least two genes, but both genes would have to predict the likelihood that a patient will develop cancer with similar certainty.
Since testing became available in 1996, nearly 1 million people have been screened for BRCA1 and BRCA2, the genetic mutations associated with increasing a woman's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer as much as 87%, according to Myriad Genetics, the diagnostic company that helped isolate the two genes and later developed a test to detect them.
For example, some two dozen genes are linked with different types of bitterness.
To figure out why, they employed a more systematic approach, activating two specific genes called NOTCH and AKT in the mice.
They have so much genetic damage that it may be impossible to safely destroy them with drug that hit just one or two bad genes.
Mr Gehring has evidence that the two interchangeable genes act as master switches which activate at least 2, 500 others whose interplay ultimately determines that development.
And the BRCA gene tests are not medicine: they are a diagnostic test that reads your DNA and tells you if you have harmful mutations in two specific genes.
Ms Morgan said that following the identification of two key genes in the last decade (BRCA1 and BRCA2) genetic testing could now pinpoint whether a woman may be at high risk of developing breast cancer.
Claire Halpin, of Dundee University in Scotland, and her colleagues have been looking into the question of environmental interactions using hybrid poplars that contain antisense versions of two other genes for enzymes involved in the production of lignin.
Along the way two breast cancer genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, were discovered in 1994 and 1995.
At the time that two or three genes for prostate cancer are known, we'll be able to format a test for prostate cancer.
The study's genetic analysis was carried out using conventional chemical techniques, which make it possible to spot the presence of two or three genes in a particular sample.
