Perhaps the most significant distinction between evolution and ID / creationism is evolution's ability to explain poor design features, e.g. male nip - ples, the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the presence / location of endogenous retroviruses, and (one of my personal favorites) the presence of a defunct gene for egg yolk protein in our placental mammal genomes.

Building the knowledge base requires humans to teach computers key concepts from curated articles; with modest online training, anyone who reads English can scan research papers for key terms — names of genes, proteins, diseases, and drugs — and use online marking tools to document relationships between them (for example, drug X treats disease Y).

Sequencing the genome of one such organism, King and her colleagues found genes that code for pieces of the same proteins used for the binding of cells and communication between cells in animals — functions that would be unexpected in such an organism.

Of particular interest are the emerging techniques for genomics and proteomics, which allow profiles of gene expression and protein synthesis to be produced and comparisons to be made between normal and abnormal cells, as well as between cells before and after exposure to medicines or toxic chemicals.

They used another database listing interactions between different proteins, to narrow down the list of genes and account for interactions between them.

Genes may carry information for building proteins, but a host of other factors, including the DNA between genes that doesn't encode proteins, tells them when to make their protGenes may carry information for building proteins, but a host of other factors, including the DNA between genes that doesn't encode proteins, tells them when to make their protgenes that doesn't encode proteins, tells them when to make their proteins.

And large, genome - wide studies searching for genetic underpinnings for more common diseases, such as lung cancer or autism, have pointed to the nether regions of the genome between the protein - producing genes — areas that were often thought to contain «junk» DNA that was not part of the pantheon of known genes.

Hong - Zhong Zhang and colleagues at the University of California at San Francisco deciphered the signaling system between a protein in a resistant staph cell that keeps watch for beta - lactams and a second protein that it tells to turn on the gene for beta - lactamase when the drugs are present.

RNA acts as the intermediary between genes and proteins, but the function of pieces of RNA that do not code for protein has, historically, been less clear.

These are sequences produced in the lab from the RNA that is the intermediate step between gene and the protein it codes for.

Wanting to understand the relationship between CMG2 and collagen VI, the team developed double - knockout mice in which the genes for both proteins — CMG2 and collagen VI — had been deleted.

Thirty years ago, geneticist Mary - Claire King and biochemist Allan Wilson proposed that changes in how genes are regulated, rather than in the proteins they code for, could explain important differences between chimps and humans (Science, 11 April 1975, p. 107).

The Arizona researchers studied whether cage conditions affect mice with one copy of a gene called fibulin - 4, a member of a family of genes believed to code for proteins that stabilize the connective tissue found between cells in arteries and other blood vessels.

The gene manufactures a protein that binds monoamines into packages, called vesicles, for transportation between neurons.

When zinc hooks up with a gene - controlling protein, it forms «zinc finger proteins» - so called because they can poke into the tight groove between the two strands of DNA and touch the sequence they're made for.

For example, it is used to identify correlations between gene sequences and diseases, to predict protein structures from amino acid sequences, to aid in the design of novel drugs, and to tailor treatments to individual patients based on their DNA sequences (pharmacogenomics).

The only clue indicating that differences in gene expression level are not the reason for the observed correlation between the recombination rate and the size of introns is that we do not see a comparable pattern when examining the size of exons, the number of exons per gene, and the overall size of proteins.

Some reasons for this relatively low yield include unappreciated phenotypic heterogeneity; locus heterogeneity; somatic and germline mosaicism; variants of uncertain functional significance; technically inaccessible areas of the genome; incorrect mode of inheritance investigated; and inadequate communication between clinicians and basic scientists with knowledge of particular genes, proteins, or biological systems.

A prominent example of the dual inheritance theory is the culture — gene coevolution between cattle milk protein genes and human lactase genes (Beja - Pereira et al. 2003), whereby the cultural propensity for milk consumption in humans has led to genetic selection for milk protein genes in cattle and gene encoding lactase in humans.
