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 primate.

These are different than the mutation that causes HD, but allow researchers to better understand the normal role of the HD gene.

The CRISPR / Cas technology applied to mouse genetic engineering could quickly advance scientific understanding of disease mechanisms by allowing researchers to ask complex questions and find answers much faster than with traditional gene targeting approaches.

They believe the mutated gene causes cancer by triggering cytoskeleton malfunction, which allows the cancer cells to move more quickly than normal cells, essentially invading the surrounding healthy tissue.

This allowed them to compare the level of expression of more than 1,000 genes between humans, chimps, orangutans and rhesus macaques — representing about 70 million years of evolution.

Other repeated sequences, more than one hundred letters long, appear to help genes move around, allowing «silent genes» to be moved next to an «on» switch where they become active.

Although this natural gene drive is unpredictable and scattershot, Burt showed that certain tricks of molecular biology could achieve the same results: causing a gene to be inherited by many more organisms through many generations than standard genetics and natural selection allow.

And this belief, of course, is based on the notion that we get fat for reasons other than the nutrient composition of the diet — probably because of some combination of our genes, our tendency to eat to much and our sedentary behavior — and so the diet that works best is the one that allows us to most comfortably restrict our intake of total calories.

Rare individuals are born with a mutation that allows them to survive and reproduce better than all the others so that this new gene eventually (over hundreds of thousands of years) becomes the new norm.
