About: Nullomers

An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Nullomers are short sequences of DNA that do not occur in the genome of a species (for example, humans), even though they are theoretically possible. Nullomers must be under selective pressure - for example, they may be toxic to the cell. Some nullomers have been shown to be useful to treat leukemia, breast, and prostate cancer. They are not useful in healthy cells because normal cells adapt and become immune to them. Nullomers are also being developed for use as DNA tags to prevent cross contamination when analyzing crime scene material.

dbo:abstract
  • Ein Nullomer (Kofferwort aus ‚Null-Vorkommen‘ und Oligomer) ist eine kurze DNA-Sequenz, die nicht im Genom einer bestimmten Art vorkommt, obwohl sie theoretisch möglich wäre. Die Funktion dieser „verbotenen“ Sequenzen ist noch unbekannt, möglicherweise sind sie toxisch oder dienen der Erkennung und Beseitigung von Pathogenen. (de)

  • Les nullomers sont une série d'acides aminés qui n'existent pas à l'état naturel. Ils ont récemment été découverts par Greg Hampikian et publiés dans plusieurs journaux de référence comme outil pour la lutte contre le cancer de la prostate et des seins, ainsi qu'un type de leucémie[réf. nécessaire].

  • Os nullomers são uma série de aminoácidos que não existem no seu estado natural. Foram recentemente descobertos por e publicados em vários periódicos de referência como uma ferramenta para a luta contra cancro da próstata e da mama, assim como um tipo de leucemia. (pt)
