A gene-editing process that corrects mutations without weaving foreign genetic material into the chromosome has been demonstrated in diseased human cells for the first time. It could provide a less risky and more efficient alternative to gene therapy, which has resulted in leukaemia in some patients.
A team led by scientists at Sangamo Biosciences in Richmond, California, US, say they have corrected the single gene mutation that causes the fatal X-chromosome-linked severe combined immune deficiency (X-SCID) - or “bubble boy” disease - in human T-cells. They treated the cells in test tubes with the company’s proprietary type of “zinc finger nucleases” (ZFNs) and have published their results in Nature.

| A team of scientists led by Peer Bork, Ph.D, Senior Bioinformatics Scientist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, report today in the journal Genome Research that they have identified a new primate-specific gene family that spans about 10% of human chromosome 2. Comprised of eight family members, the RGP gene cluster may help to explain what sets apart humans and other primates from the rest of the animal kingdom.

Much of the work, however, is patented, leaving many academic and nonprofit researchers hamstrung. But an Australian organization advocating an open-source approach to biology hopes to free up biological data without violating intellectual property rights."

| When Linus Pauling (1901-1994) was an undergraduate in chemistry, he began doubting the then-current notion that bonds form when tiny hooks on one atom slip into eyes on another. Pauling would go on to revolutionize our understanding of how atoms link up by sharing electrons, winning the Nobel Prize in 1954.

Although mathematics has long been intertwined with the biological sciences, an explosive synergy between biology and mathematics seems poised to enrich and extend both fields greatly in the coming decades. Biology will increasingly stimulate the creation of qualitatively new realms of mathematics. Why? "
