The evolution of the MUC7 gene, which encodes a saliva protein, was studied by scientists at the University at Buffalo. To capture the gene’s proline-, threonine-, and serine-rich tandem repeat copy ...

“Such knowledge on physiological decline throughout pregnancy and the remarkable rejuvenation right after delivery will assist with revolutionizing our approach to treating the elderly.” “We ...

We learn that we inherit two copies of every gene, one from each of our parents, but the story is a bit more complex. Some parts of the genome may be duplicated, or deleted, in some people. The number ...

Explore how gene duplications reveal insights into humanness and genomic differences between humans and primates. All told, the researchers found more than 4000 genes that showed lineage-specific ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Gene duplication is an important driver of genomic diversity that can promote adaptive evolution. However, like most mutations, a newly ...

Copy number variation (CNV) refers to an increase or decrease in the number of copies of a DNA sequence in a genome, which can subsequently be implicit in promoting aberrant gene expression patterns ...
