Sentences with phrase «different eye genes»

Many genes govern the development of eyes, and different populations of cavefish have lost their vision by disrupting different eye genes.

Not exact matches

How can a parent with one eye color have genes for a different eye color?

The survey, described today in a Policy Forum published by Science, randomly presented people with different vignettes that described genome editing being used in germline or somatic cells to either treat disease or enhance a human with, say, a gene linked to higher IQ or eye color.

They used the same basic tool kit to build their eyes but the precise details of the genes are slightly different.

Much of the recent research into eye development has focused on the cascade of genes that turn on at different times to coordinate the process, but researchers thought electricity didn't play a role.

Twenty years after he first stumbled on FOP, Economides and his colleagues report today that the gene mutation shared by 97 % of people with the disease can trigger its symptoms in a manner different than had been assumed — through a single molecule not previously eyed as a suspect.

Other possible symptoms of the disease, which is usually caused by different mutations of the JAGGED1 gene, are deformities of the eyes or bones, and sometimes growth disorders.

Mature miR - 7 is individually transcribed and processed from 3 different gene locus in human genome, and it is highly expressed in parts of the brain, eye, and pancreas, suggesting its role in the development of these organs (20 — 22).

By comparison, only two of the 15 genes were not significantly different when comparing the eye field to PNP or LE data sets (Table S1).

And then on top of that, of course, you have this cell - specific program with these master - regulator genes that are making a blood cell different from an eye cell different from a skin cell.

Recent genetic association studies identified variants in a locus on chromosome 15 (specifically, in the adjacent genes HERC2 and OCA2) that are major determinants of eye color, but the trait is influenced by interaction among at least ten different genes.

(Incidentally, Huskies don't have blue eyes because they carry the Merle gene, but because they carry a different gene which causes blue eyes independently of coat color.)

There is a known link between white coat color, blue eyes and deafness - but since the coat and eye color can be caused by different genes it means that only some blue eyed whites are deaf.

This breed also carries the gene for heterochromatic eyes, in other words, eyes of different colors.

However, one word of caution to be aware of is that since both parent breeds carry the gene for heterochromatic (different color) eyes, they are prone to eye problems like glaucoma and cataracts.
