Hearing Loss: Molecular Therapy
Research at the UW Medical Center translates to improving care options for patients. This University of Washington program shows what is going on in Dr. Clifford Hume,s lab, where researchers are exploring a biological approach to hearing restoration by stimulating regeneration of hair cells in the inner ear.

I Love Gengineering (genetic engineering) Lyrics I’m nice right now I feel good If you have a culture Would you please put it in the air? That white sheep last night was awfully crazy I wish we cloned it Id take a nucleus and have this one egg completely naked Inject the genes into the egg and wait for the embryo to stage up Give it to mom, pop out a clone, name it Dolly and make it our own. Man, I love gengineering I wanna engineer plasmids the rest of my life Restriction enzymes and restriction sites Fragment DNA and put our gene in And then ligate it back up for the win So transfect my vector into bacteria But first make a ton using PCR-ia I am transfection champion Herbert Boyer, Stanley Cohen Don’t get excited, this is process is weak Those with Ab resistance are what we seek All others will perish and leave what we cherish Woke up today and all I could say is That white sheep last night was awfully crazy I wish we cloned it Id take a nucleus and have this one egg completely naked Inject the genes into the egg and wait for the embryo to stage up Give it to mom, pop out a clone, name it Dolly and make it our own. Man, I love gengineering, ay! And I love cloning, ay! I love plasmids, ay! Man, I love gengineering I can tell you what I learned from school and Gengineering is a powerful tool, um Yeah, of course I learned some facts Gene therapy and what it lack In your retrovirus your gene will pack No replication makes it a hack So another cell it will jack And the …
Gene Transfer to Animal Cells (Advanced Methods)
Gene Transfer to Animal Cells (Advanced Methods)
The Adanced Methods series is intended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and established research scientists. Titles in the series are designed to cover current important areas of research in life sciences, and include both theoretical background and detailed protocols. The aim is to give researchers sufficient theory, supported by references, to take the given protocols and adapt them to their particular experimental systems.
Gene transfer to animal cells was first achieved more than 30 years ago. Since then, transformation technology has developed rapidly, resulting in a multitude of techniques for cell transformation and the creation of transgenic animals. As with any expanding technology, it becomes difficult to keep track of all the developments and to find a concise and comprehensive source of information that explains all the underlying principles. Gene Transfer to Animals Cells describes the principles behind gene transfer technologies, how gene expression is controlled in animal cells and how advanced strategies can be used to add, exchange or delete sequences from animal genomes in a conditional manner. The final chapter provides an overview of all the applications of animal cell transformation in farming, medicine and research.

No Belle and No Nobel Prize
The ever talented, multi-faced Beth Barber agreed to help me out on this song. Music and Lyrics by yours truly. This song is sung between two professors: an arrogant male professor of molecular biology who whines about his inability to win the Nobel Prize and the hearts of young maidens (played by me) and a hippyish lady professor who has spent her life cleaning up after his destructive path (played by Beth). This song tells the story of his many misadventures coming up through the ranks of academe. His TA (also played by Beth) listens attentively. The lady professor, Anna Innana, is hiding in the bushes and overhears his tale and gives a response. Lyrics: Prof: I was just sure when I went into this field that I would quickly rise to the top and soon be flocked by beautiful young admirers. But somehow, it just never worked out that way. Oh the many hours that I spent pouring o’er my microscope Oh the prospects dour, and yet, faced with doubt, in spite I’d hoped That just one final chemical reaction Would finally lead to my long sought for satisfaction… I’ve always seemed to have trouble capitalizing on my superior intellect. Why I even remember back in college… I saw this girl in my class one day Let me tell ya’ pal — she was quite a gal I said “Would you like to talk DNA?” It was a real good line – it worked so very fine. We met up in the afternoon to study chapter six. I thought that she was sure to swoon — we’d be the next double helix! We talked transfection, we …
