than changes in DNA sequence.
«This is by far the largest twin study of
gene expression ever published, enabling us to make a roadmap of
genes versus environment,» Sullivan says, adding that the study measured relationships with disease more precisely
than had been previously possible, and uncovered
important connections to recent human evolution and genetic influence in disease.
Indeed, a close look at the chimp genome reveals an
important lesson in how
genes and evolution work, and it suggests that chimps and humans are a lot more similar
than even a neurobiologist might think.
Given his training in developmental biology, Raman focused the team to seek a novel drug target on
genes important to the development of model organisms — fruit flies (Drosophila) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-- rather
than on oncogenes that transform a normal cell into a cancer cell.
The findings are especially
important as they highlight the discovery of a regulatory sequence, termed the J element, that controls class I
gene expression of many more
genes than the counterparts that regulate class II
gene expression.
It's entirely possible that there could be more
than 32,000
genes, and SAGE is an
important approach to finding them, she says.
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).

important story
than Church's mammoth

genes with
important functions are transferred to autosomal chromosomes more often
than previously thought, a study shows.
«This is
important biotechnologically, because if you look at if from the angle of genome editing, the delivery of small
genes into cells is much easier
than the delivery of large
genes,» said Rotem Sorek of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel who was not involved in the work.
In fewer
than five years, an
important new
gene - editing tool called CRISPR has radically changed the face and pace of biological research.
So in those people,
genes may be more
important than the environment in deciding whether they develop a disease.
But
gene banks are more
than just a global backup system for the next time the human race accidently deletes an
important file.
However, recent research, mostly in insects and nematodes, has highlighted that bacterial to animal LGTs may in fact be a much more
important source of novel
gene evolution
than was originally thought [2], [3].
«We were able to show that almost all of the
genes other
than PYHIN1 are trans - ethnic and
important in all of the groups,» Ober said.
This approach may also be applicable to a number of rare genetic diseases caused by splicing defects, including ataxia telangiectasia, congenital disorder of glycosylation, and Niemann - Pick disease type C. Although the three DMD studies referenced here represent a great step forward for CRISPR
gene therapy, it's
important to realize that DMD is a simpler case
than other genetic diseases we'd like to treat with CRISPR.
Here we are less interested in the contribution of individual
genes (as
important as these obviously are) but in the behavior of large genetic networks — hence the emphasis on genomics rather
than genetics in our group name.
In addition, more
than 600
genes are either receptors or associate closely with receptors, providing a thorough analysis of
important signaling pathways.
First of all - its
important to understand that when schizophrenia researchers talk about «environment» they have a very broad definition that basically includes everything other
than «
genes» or genetic factors.
It is
important to note that yes, genetics play a role, but
genes account for no more
than 33 percent of whether one person will be more optimistic
than another.

important reason: Sleeping less
than six hours a night for one week can lead to more
than 700 changes in the way our
genes behave.
Methylation does more
than just excrete the bad stuff, it is also a process that turns
genes on and off, supplies active enzymes that manage
important metabolic functions in the body and more.

than 200 different
genes.
In identifying a dog's liability for carrying defective
genes for a polygenic disorder, the breadth of the pedigree (that is, consideration of all siblings of individuals in the pedigree) is more
important than the depth of the pedigree (consideration only of parent - offspring relationships.)
A collectivistic culture values harmony within the group, and the individual gain is considered to be less
important than improvement of the social group.14 Embarrassment may be more common in collectivistic cultures because it is induced by external sanctions.15 «Taijin kyofusho» (the fear of offending or embarrassing the other person) is an example of a culturally specific expression of anxiety in Asian countries.16 Biological evidence also showed that people who live in collectivist cultures are more likely
than those in individualistic cultures to have a form of the serotonin transporter
gene that correlates with higher rates of anxiety and depression.17
