What future for regulation? UK committee's role disputed.

Abstract:

:A parliamentary and union delegation has expressed to the British government its concern over the possible demise of the Genetic Manipulation Advisory Group (GMAG). The delegation proposed that GMAG continue to ensure the safe development of recombinant DNA technology and extend its role to cover the ethics of human genetic engineering and the monitoring of industrial safety and environmental contamination. GMAG members, themselves divided over the group's future role, will meet to discuss various options later in the year.

  • Facilitated binding of TATA-binding protein to nucleosomal DNA.

    abstract::BINDING of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) to the TATA box is required for transcription from many eukaryotic promoters in gene expression. Regulation of this binding is therefore likely to be an important determinant of promoter activity. Incorporation of the TATA sequence into nucleosomes dramatically reduces transcr...
