Piroska Szabó
of the Van Andel Research Institute in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was once excited to think she'd discovered a

allele — until she realized that the RNA sequences she was looking at were from a gene that had been misannotated as a nuclear gene, explaining the maternal - only inheritance.
When Simon's team deleted all H3.3 genes, they found that certain previously silenced transposable elements were reactivated and continued to multiply in the genome — the result is the appearance

Although the
newest edition
of the authoritative textbook, Vitamin D, claims that in humans calcidiol binds with equal affinity to the DBP whether it is derived from vitamin D2 or vitamin D3, 37 the citation for this statement is the author's own PhD thesis, in which he reported results obtained from testing the DBP
of a mere two people.48 Since the gene for the DBP is one
of the most polymorphic known (meaning it exists in many forms), existing in three common
alleles and 124 known rarer
alleles (
alleles are specific forms
of the same gene), each
allele itself having many polymorphisms, 37 a sample size
