GeneGene the Dancing Machine , aka Eugene Patton born April 25, 1932 , was a member of the stage crew and occasional performer on The Gong Show . Gene was the first African American member of the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees , Local 33. He was one of several amateur performers who would warm up and entertain the audience during commercial breaks. Host Chuck Barris found him so entertaining that he had him dance on the show on air, and he proved so popular that he soon became a recurring act, an occasional judge, and eventually the regular closing act for the show, with the credits regularly rolling over his enthusiastic dancing, often joined by Chuck, the celebrity judges, the stage hands, and whoever else felt like joining in. Usually Gong paddles, flowers, plastic fake food, stuffed animals and various other items were thrown on stage for good measure. He appeared in The Gong Show Movie 1980 and had some dialog. His attire usually consisted of a green windbreaker jacket, bell bottomed jeans, sneakers, a yellow polo shirt, and a black painter s hat. The genial heavy set man wore a green warm up outfit and often came onstage dancing to Milton DeLugg Milton Delugg s Band with a Thug while they played Count Basie s Jumpin at the Woodside tune. Gene had a cameo as himself in the film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind . After The Gong Show was cancelled, Patton remained a stagehand at NBC. He was recognized backstage at The Tonight Show in the 1990s. Patton lost both legs to complications from diabetes in 2001, and wears prosthetics and walks with a cane. ref http www.imdb.com name nm0666565 bio Gene Patton Biography Bot generated title ref References references cite news first Dave last Reardon title Patton just a part of an athletic Bunch url http ... 2007 01 19 Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

Gene silencing is a general term describing epigenetic processes of gene regulation . The term gene silencing is generally used to describe the switching off of a gene by a mechanism other than genetic modification . That is, a gene which would be expressed turned on under normal circumstances is switched off by machinery in the cell. Gene s are regulated at either the Transcription genetics transcriptional or Translation biology post transcriptional level. Transcriptional gene silencing is the result of histone modifications, creating an environment of heterochromatin around a gene that makes ... gene silencing is the result of Messenger RNA mRNA of a particular gene being destroyed or blocked. The destruction of the mRNA prevents translation to form an active gene product in most cases, a protein . A common mechanism of post transcriptional gene silencing is RNAi .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A candidate gene is a gene , located in a chromosome region suspected of being involved in the expression of a trait such as a disease, whose protein product suggests that it could be the gene in question. A candidate gene can also be identified by association with the phenotype and by linkage analysis to a region of the genome. A popular way to identify candidate genes is by microarray , this allows the researcher to analyse the expression levels of specific genes in a case control study, therefore if a gene is dysregulated in a disease it may be identified by microarray. However microarray has its weaknesses as it identifies all expression in the cell and could be reporting the expression of a gene which is affected by the disease rather than the cause.
