Sentences with phrase «same gene determines»

Not exact matches

It makes sense that only a few genes would suffice to determine a trait such as body size, Ostrander says, because all dog breeds belong to the same species, Canis familiaris, and most have taken shape in the last three centuries.

The same could be said for the mechanisms that determine which genes or suites of genes are turned on or off at particular times and places.

Sex determining genes exist in several different variants, but close family members are likely to share the same variants.

To determine the rate at which DNA mutates, researchers compare different versions of the same gene from two to several dozen species.

Genes, he says, «tune» a system to one morphic field or another in much the same way that flipping a television's channel selector determines which programs it receives.

«If you line up these [variants] and determine the likely function of the genes, do they tell the same story?»

Pugh and Venters further validated their surprising findings by determining that these non-coding initiation machines recognized the same DNA sequences as the ones at coding genes, indicating that they have a specific origin and that their production is regulated, just like it is at coding genes.

There are genes that determine whether the same life event causes an increase or decrease in the volume of the hippocampus, and which therefore defines whether the stress is good or bad for our brain.

Schoppmeier and his colleagues are now trying to determine whether Notch and related genes turn on and off in the same fashion in early spider embryos as they do in vertebrates.

He and others have recently used gene - editing tools to correct mutations in human iPS cells but haven't used the same combination of methods or done the same set of experiments to determine whether the iPS - derived cells are safe.

Elledge's and Chanda's teams used the same basic technique to determine which human genes matter.

After decades of extrapolating about gene function in trees based on gene function in a tiny, less complex plant, a team of scientists has sequenced whole genomes — determined the DNA sequence of all the genes — from 544 unrelated trees of the same species.

With the recent availability of high - throughput sequencing, it is possible to compare the genomes of many genomes of the same species, and to determine which genes are conserved as part of the «core genome», and which genes are found only in certain strains.

Every cell in the body has the same DNA and genes, so a cell's properties and functions are determined by which genes are turned on.
