Taking their cue from nature, where structurally well - defined biopolymers are the norm, e.g. in DNA and genes where slight variations to the order of a small number of organic molecules gives rise to the diverse spectrum of life, they have developed a self - sorting strategy that regulates the order molecules take when forming long chain polymers.
Focusing on specific genes or regions is an especially good strategy for taxonomy projects, where variation in a few genes is often sufficient to place an organism on a phylogenetic tree.
The scientists sampled the genetic code of 400 trees from 31 locations across northern North America and combined the genetic variations with computer modeling techniques to map how important genes differ within balsam poplar and to locate where trees may have the best chance of survival in a rapidly warming world.
The study for the first time estimates the minimum number of locations in the human genome — 250 to 300 — where gene copy number variation (CNV) can give rise to autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Kwiatkowski and his team suspect that the variation might be subject to something called balancing selection — just like the sickle cell variation — where genes are selected because of their ability to protect against malaria, but are kept from becoming too common because of their potential downsides.
This application uses calculated break points to determine fusion genes based on the latest annotation for genomic sequence information, and where relevant the structural variation (SV) events are annotated with predicted RNA and protein sequences.
Most breeds are fixed for either curly or not - curly, but in breeds where there is variation, dogs may now be tested to see if they carry zero, one or two copies of the curly or non-curly versions of the KRT71 gene.
