Finally, transformation may provide a general approach to the analysis of complex heritable phenotypes by permitting the distinction between phenotypic changes without concomitant changes in DNA and functional genetic rearrangements.
The largest numbers of variants identified by genome - wide association are copy - number changes, which have a greater phenotypic effect than do single nucleotide polymorphisms.
Cellular senescence is a state of stable cell growth arrest that is accompanied by drastic molecular and phenotypic changes.
Finally, we collaborate with Lauren Chapman of McGill University (Montreal, Canada) to study the role of phenotypic plasticity (changes induced by the environment) and genetic assimilation in the process of adaptation and evolutionary change of cichlid fishes.
The focus of the conference was connecting how epigenetics (cellular and physiological phenotypic trait variations that are caused by external or environmental factors that switch genes on and off and affect how cells read genes instead of being caused by changes in the DNA sequence — in other words nutrition and lifestyle choices) impact whether or not an individual actually develops a specific health issue even though they have a SNP mutation.
Natural spatial and temporal variability in the pH / pCO2 conditions experienced by marine populations provide the potential for different levels of adaptation (genetic) and acclimatization (phenotypic) to decreased pH and elevated pCO2, emphasizing the importance of understanding physiological variation existing along natural environmental gradients (macrophysiology) in understanding global change impacts [29].
Moreover, for the first time, they show that changes in whole - organism phenotypic responses are accompanied by changes in the expression of genes related to intracellular regulatory processes rather than genes thought to be essential for calcification.
