Thus, a gene for antibiotic resistance that evolves via natural selection may be shared.

Often this can be inferred by the absence of a normal component ( e. g., one gene ).

The expression of many genes can be determined by measuring mRNA levels with multiple techniques including microarrays, expressed cDNA sequence tag ( EST ) sequencing, serial analysis of gene expression ( SAGE ) tag sequencing, massively parallel signature sequencing ( MPSS ), RNA-Seq, also known as " Whole Transcriptome Shotgun Sequencing " ( WTSS ), or various applications of multiplexed in-situ hybridization.

Expression data can be used to infer gene regulation: one might compare microarray data from a wide variety of states of an organism to form hypotheses about the genes involved in each state.

In addition, in order for gene therapy to provide permanent therapeutic effects, the introduced gene needs to be integrated within the host cell's genome.

Since the gene is recessive, all offspring will be heterozygous, and the offspring from that mating will not be resistant to Bt and therefore no longer a threat.

A gene concatenation study found similar results to Xu and Cote ', but with a much more limited number of species in terms of groups, but used Listeria as an outgroup, so in light of the ARB tree, it may be " inside-out ".

According to this research, genetic markers commonly found in modern humans worldwide suggest that today many people carry a gene that evolved as protection against the brain diseases that can be spread by consuming human brain tissue.

* PCR can be used to determine how many copies of a gene are present in a cell.

When scientists transfer a gene from one cell into another cell in order to express the new genetic material as a protein in the recipient cell, the cDNA will be added to the recipient ( rather than the entire gene ), because the DNA for an entire gene may include DNA that does not code for the protein or that interrupts the coding sequence of the protein ( e. g., introns ).

Based on the affected gene, CMT can be categorized into types and subtypes.

For example, Darwinism may be used to refer to Darwin's proposed mechanism of natural selection, in comparison to more recent mechanisms such as genetic drift and gene flow.

Potential awardees may be out of the gene pool due to age ; others have already reproduced before their deaths.

The evolution of this group of viruses appears to be complex with gene having been gained from multiple sources.

Mayr insisted throughout his career that the gene as the target of selection cannot and should not be considered a valid idea in modern evolutionary thought.

In the 30s and 40s, it was widely accepted that genes were the target of selection, because that was the only way they could be made accessible to mathematics, but now we know that it is really the whole genotype of the individual, not the gene.

Histones, gene regulatory proteins, DNA and RNA polymerases, and other substances essential for nuclear activities must be imported from the cytoplasm.

Martin Brune has pointed out that Kraepelin and Rudin also appear to have been ardent advocates of a self-domestication theory, a version of social darwinism which held that modern culture was not allowing people to be weeded out, resulting in more mental disorder and deterioration of the gene pool.

Furthermore, transcripts made from the same gene may not have the same exon structure, since parts of the mRNA could be removed by the process of alternative splicing.

This new exon contains the ORF for a reporter gene that can now be expressed using the enhancers that control the target gene.

The idea of the phenotype has been generalized by Richard Dawkins in The Extended Phenotype to mean all the effects a gene has on the outside world that may influence its chances of being replicated.

A link was found between the personality trait of neuroticism and a polymorphism called 5-HTTLPR in the serotonin transporter gene, but this association was not replicated in larger studies.

mtDNA is replicated by the DNA polymerase gamma complex which is composed of a 140 kDa catalytic DNA polymerase encoded by the POLG gene and a 55 kDa accessory subunit encoded by the POLG2 gene.

He developed the broad and encompassing inclusive fitness theory that can explain a gene's spread in any number of ways, e. g., through purely Selfish behavior ( actor benefits, the recipient does not ), through reciprocity or mutualism ( actor and recipient benefit, even if benefits are selfish in gain ), through delayed reciprocity ( a uniquely dominant human behavior ), as well as altruistic social behavior among kin ( benefits to actor and recipient are realized to be similar as they share the same gene by common descent that is being replicated ).

Once the pattern of methylation has been created, the pilus gene transcription is locked in the on or off position until the DNA is again replicated.

The gene is a unit of hereditary information that exists in many physical copies in the world, and which particular physical copy will be replicated and originate new copies does not matter from the gene's point of view.

It was shown that sorghum's aluminium tolerance is controlled by a single gene, as for wheat.

One candidate gene with polymorphisms that influence anxiety is PLXNA2.

Wilson's disease is an autosomal-recessive gene disorder whereby an alteration of the ATP7B gene results in an inability to properly excrete copper from the body.

An allele ( or ) is one of two or more forms of a gene or a genetic locus ( generally a group of genes ).

The word " allele " is a short form of allelomorph (' other form '), which was used in the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes.

It is now appreciated that most or all gene loci are highly polymorphic, with multiple alleles, whose frequencies vary from population to population, and that a great deal of genetic variation is hidden in the form of alleles that do not produce obvious phenotypic differences.

Other disorders are also due to recessive alleles, but because the gene locus is located on the X chromosome, so that males have only one copy ( that is, they are hemizygous ), they are more frequent in males than in females.

An ampicillin resistance gene ( abbreviated ampR ) is commonly used as a selectable marker in routine biotechnology.

The large and diverse population of antibodies is generated by random combinations of a set of gene segments that encode different antigen binding sites ( or paratopes ), followed by random mutations in this area of the antibody gene, which create further diversity.

MAC, also called " Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Permeabilization Pore " is regulated by various proteins, such as those encoded by the mammalian Bcl-2 family of anti-apoptopic genes, the homologs of the ced-9 gene found in C. elegans.

Since a -/- mutation in the APAF-1 gene is embryonic lethal, a gene trap strategy was used in order to generate an APAF-1 -/- mouse.

This assay is used to disrupt gene function by creating an intragenic gene fusion.

When an APAF-1 gene trap is introduced into cells, many morphological changes occur, such as spina bifida, the persistence of interdigital webs, and open brain.

It is the most polyphetic known enzyme: six distinct classes have been described, all catalyzing the same reaction but representing unrelated gene families with no known sequence or structural homology.

Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates, including humans.

The truncated myostatin gene is unable to function in its normal capacity, resulting in accelerated lean muscle growth.

This particular type of growth is seen early in the fetus of a pregnant dam, which results in a calf that is born with two times the number of muscle fibers at birth than a calf with no myostatin gene mutation.

Another significant historic event in biochemistry is the discovery of the gene and its role in the transfer of information in the cell.
