«Our research suggests that such variants may have piggybacked onto positively selected regions, which were also enriched in disease - related genes,» Lohmueller said.

They found many of the 131 regions were related to genes involved in growth and development and cellular function and maintenance.

Consistent with that result, the researchers found that certain regions of the X chromosome in human female B cells, including regions that contain immunity - related genes, were expressed at higher levels than male cells.

In one species, the black snub - nosed monkey (about 2,000 individuals are found in the wild), they identified several hypoxia - related genes that allowed them to thrive in the highest altitudes (a narrow region 3,400 - 4,500 meters above sea level in a narrow region between the Yangtze and Mekong rivers within the Tibetan plateau) than any other nonhuman primatIn one species, the black snub - nosed monkey (about 2,000 individuals are found in the wild), they identified several hypoxia - related genes that allowed them to thrive in the highest altitudes (a narrow region 3,400 - 4,500 meters above sea level in a narrow region between the Yangtze and Mekong rivers within the Tibetan plateau) than any other nonhuman primatin the wild), they identified several hypoxia - related genes that allowed them to thrive in the highest altitudes (a narrow region 3,400 - 4,500 meters above sea level in a narrow region between the Yangtze and Mekong rivers within the Tibetan plateau) than any other nonhuman primatin the highest altitudes (a narrow region 3,400 - 4,500 meters above sea level in a narrow region between the Yangtze and Mekong rivers within the Tibetan plateau) than any other nonhuman primatin a narrow region between the Yangtze and Mekong rivers within the Tibetan plateau) than any other nonhuman primate.

Finding MODY3 led to the rapid discovery of MODY1, a functionally related gene known as HNF -4-alpha, which had been mapped to the MODY1 - region of chromosome 20 by Markus Stoffel, MD, Rockefeller University, a collaborator in the search for MODY1 since 1991.

Both studies generated interesting results relating to the DNA region in which the HAS2 gene is located.

Pollinger et al., [44] identified a 40 Mb selective sweep on CFA11 associated with black coat color in Large Munsterlander and a 10 MB region on CFA3 in Dachshund containing FGFR3, which is responsible for achondroplasia in humans and presumably linked with related genes responsible for canine chondrodysplasia.

CEA, which segregates in several herding breeds with Collie ancestry, was mapped to a large region of CFA37 that included over 40 genes [92]; subsequently the fact that the disorder segregates in multiple, closely related breeds was used to reduce the size of the critical disease - associated region and pinpoint the causal mutation to a 7.8 kb intronic deletion in the NHEJ1 gene, which spans a highly conserved binding domain to which several developmentally important genes bind [91].

Having evolved in a region with less climate variability over both the years and the millennia, tropical species may harbor a less diverse set of genes related to heat tolerance and similar traits.

Serotonin transporter gene regulatory region polymorphism and anxiety - related traits in the Japanese

Allelic variation in this transporter's gene expression, regulated by a 43 bp indel in the upstream region termed 5 - HTTLPR, was initially associated with anxiety - related traits (23) and has since been investigated in many fields of serotonin - related human genetics (24).
