Treatment of this disease is complicated by its many forms, depending on which
particular gene functions incorrectly.
The results also showed that polymorphism, a genetic variant that can change the way
a particular gene functions, is possible under a wide range of conditions, which results in a single population playing a variety of different behavioral games.

functions of the
genes (in

function of the plant.

As more such species are sequenced, he says, «everyone will be using these» genomes to find out which
genes are responsible for
particular functions, especially for plant pathogens such as Fusarium, which causes ear rot in corn and puts out mycotoxins in animal feed.
A DNA sequence that is conserved across species suggests that it plays an important role in the ultimate

particular gene.
«In model organisms, like yeast or flies, scientists often generate mutations to determine which letters in a DNA sequence are needed for a
particular gene to
function,» explains CSHL Professor Adam Siepel.

genes in a
particular root cell determine its fate — the zone in which it will
function, Subramanian explained, so he is identifying which micro-RNAs direct
gene expression to achieve this differentiation.
«This data allows classification of all human protein - coding
genes into those coding for house - hold
functions (present in all cells) and those that are tissue - specific
genes with highly specialized expression in
particular organs and tissues, such as kidney, liver, brain, heart, pancreas.
The current work shows that changes in the genetic code of a
particular gene can control epigenetic marks at different
genes, implying that a
gene's genetic code can affect whether other
genes are turned on and off, which makes it important to understand the
function of all
genes involved, not just the one with the so - called misspelling.
They then identified damaging mutations in the children that would disable the protein produced by a
particular gene or alter the protein's
function.
It's useful to help researchers understand the
function of a
gene at a specific time of life, but this
particular technique is not being developed as a treatment for any human disease.
DNA lives in the cell nucleus and consists of thousands of
genes, each one holding the code, or «blueprint,» for building a
particular protein molecule and thus ensuring a certain cell
function performed by that protein.
