The researchers also found epigenetic changes in a large number of genes that contribute to reduced insulin production. (sciencedaily.com)
Until then, the evidence for the existence of a new biological domain had been largely based on studies of small numbers of genes. (genomenewsnetwork.org)
Laws of population genetics predict that, on a purely theoretical ground, such a high number of genes should translate into an extremely elevated frequency of unaffected carriers of mutations. (completegenomics.com)
