Sentences with phrase «versions of the gene encoding»

Without a working version of the gene encoding SWEET4c, such as in the mutant lines provided by the UniformMu resource (Don McCarty and Karen Koch at the University of Florida), sugars were not delivered to the seeds and the backpack was empty (in science jargon: empty pericarp).

The paper, entitled «The gene encoding 5 - lipoxygenase activating protein confers risk of myocardial infarction and stroke,» presents the results of a major population study of heart attack linking a version of the gene encoding FLAP with a nearly twofold increased risk of heart attack.

Through its population genetics research in Iceland, deCODE identified common versions of the gene encoding EP3 (the PTGER3 gene) that confer increase in risk of PAOD.

Not exact matches

Researchers from the Quadram Institute have identified genes encoding a previously undiscovered version of the botulinum neurotoxin in bacteria from a cow's gut.

The two closely related regulatory genes are active in the normal development of mammals and govern how RNAs produced from the genes are joined to make final versions of the encoded protein, a process called alternative splicing.

To test their hunch, Duda and Palumbi tracked down the different versions of a gene that encodes one type of neurotoxin.

Hutchinson - Gilford progeria is caused by a spontaneous mutation during conception in a gene called LMNA, which encodes a protein called prelamin A. Progeria patients experience a buildup of an abnormal version of prelamin A in their cells that, among other changes, distorts the nucleus and alters gene expression.

Researchers had already found hints that a variant gene encoding a faster version of this enzyme — which would mean lower levels of dopamine — seemed to be more common in schizophrenics.

The new gene map contains nearly twice as many genes as the previous release, includes most genes that encode proteins of known function, and is twofold to threefold more accurate than the previous version.
