Sentences with phrase «specific differences in gene expression»

«Based on our data, which is comprised of gene expression across 16 brain regions, we found that the most distinct region, i.e. the region where we observe more human - specific differences in gene expression, is the striatum, a region involved in motor coordination, reward, and decision - making,» lead author André M. Sousa of the Yale School of Medicine and the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience told Seeker.

When the team measured gene expression first in the stem cells, and then re-evaluated the cells once they had become neurons, very specific differences emerged between the cells derived from bipolar disorder patients and those without the condition.

Rather than listing specific genes that manifest themselves differently, or are differentially expressed, between queens and workers, the team looked for genes with similar expression patterns across samples that may be involved in maintaining the structural, behavioural and functional differences observed between queens and workers.

It's the first time scientists have shown in selectively bred animals that the propensity for addiction is linked to differences in expression of genes for specific molecules in a specific brain region.

Because PMI dependent expression changes are largely tissue - specific, they could confound tissue differential gene expression since the observed effects could be caused by differential response to PMI rather than by differences in tissue biology.

Sex differences describe biology - linked differences between women and men, which are caused by differences in sex chromosomes, sex - specific gene expression of autosomes, sex hormones, and their effects on organ systems (Figure 1)(1, 3).

Recently, a large - scale microarray study characterized gene expression differences between current, former, and never smokers [5], and identified specific genes related to xenobiotic functions, anti-oxidation, cell adhesion and electron transport to be more highly expressed in current smokers relative to never smokers.
