Sentences with phrase «of active genes because»

«As a result of the previous study, we reported that SUMO is probably important for controlling expression of active genes because we found it on every gene we looked at, but only when they were turned on,» notes Rosonina.

Not exact matches

Davies and Lineweaver suggest that genes active in embryogenesis and switched off later may be reactivated because of damage, causing the accelerated cell division of these rogue cancer cells.

The gene isn't active on the other side of the wing, they found, because Engrailed - 1, another gene first found in flies, suppresses it.

Genes there appear to control both body size and sperm production, and because these genes are not active in females, they can evolve independently of their effect on female survGenes there appear to control both body size and sperm production, and because these genes are not active in females, they can evolve independently of their effect on female survgenes are not active in females, they can evolve independently of their effect on female survival.

In a later study comparing almost 3400 active genes in 70 spider species, Bond's team found that mostly webless, ground - dwelling arachnids such as wolf spiders and jumping spiders diversified much more quickly than web weavers, perhaps because they were able to exploit a plethora of new opportunities once they no longer had to build and tend webs.

Because the RNAi wasn't used to dampen FOXP2 activity until 23 days after the birds hatched, the new study shows that the gene has a role beyond embryonic development, says neurogeneticist Simon Fisher of the University of Oxford in the U.K. «The gene, at least in songbirds, may have important active functions in [neural] circuits,» he says.

But because the CenH3 - binding domain has not been determined for other rice centromeres, the possibility that active genes and frequent retrotransposon insertions are a common feature of grass centromeres can not yet be ruled out.

Eight HARs showed differences in their enhancer activity when the human mutations were present.4 These differences modify how genes were expressed in the developing limb (HAR2, 2xHAR114), eye (HAR25), and central nervous system (2xHAR142, 2xHAR238, 2xHAR164, 2xHAR170, ANC516 / HARE5).4, 10 Because relatively few time points have been examined, it is likely that an even higher percentage of the tested HARs are active enhancers at some point during embryonic development or in adult tissues, possibly with human - chimp differences.
