After gene - typing about 3,000 people, Sturm found that how OCA2 is expressed — and how much pigment a person has — is strongly linked to three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or single letter variations, in a DNA sequence near the OCA2 gene.

The role of heredity in obesity appears to be between 40 and 70 percent, and next - generation sequencing studies of whole genomes (GWAS) have uncovered about 100 common genetic variants that explain a small amount of variation leading to obesity.

To unlock the scientific potential of this major investment, it is necessary to gain basic information about common patterns of genetic variation in the Gambian population through large - scale genome sequence analysis.

«Even though the chimp genome has been sequenced, it's amazing how little we know about their evolution and the level of variation within chimpanzees,» said Przeworski.

Viral gene sequences from an enlarged set of about 200 Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) strains including many primary isolates have been used to investigate variation in key viral genetic regions, particularly LMP1, Zp, gp350, EBNA1 and the BART miRNA cluster 2.

Since gene sequencing technology became a key part of the medical and health sciences around a little over a decade ago, we now understand a lot more about the importance of genetic variations.

The meta - level layering and critical dialogue about horror movies in this sequence (characters with little to no development, predictable scare setups, and shocking turns that don't make much sense) are calls for variation that Kevin Williamson's script leave largely unanswered once the plot proper kicks into gear.

While the physical and digital are frequently used in opposition, the linguistic use of biological terms in technology — where software and the body are spoken about in terms of generations and viruses — underlie conceptual relationships of sequence and variation, both desirable and detrimental.

A sequence or constellation of several variations on an idea about a pattern that is geometrically clear and locked into the borders of the canvas, even when it doesn't appear to be.

We used sequence variation in the mitochondrial COI gene to ask (i) whether cyamid population structures might reveal associations among right whale individuals and subpopulations, (ii) whether the divergences of the three nominally conspecific cyamid species on North Atlantic, North Pacific, and southern right whales (Euba.laena glac.ialis, Eubal.aena jap.onica, Euba.laena aust.ralis) might indicate their times of separation, and (iii) whether the shapes of cyamid gene trees might contain information about changes in the population sizes of right whales....
