It relies on the fact that all human cells have a complete set of genes, even though the gene for producing EPO is not active except in kidney cells.
Every organism contains a basic set of chromosomes, unique in number and size for every species, that includes the complete set of genes plus any DNA between them.
The X chromosome in Drosophila flies and human beings, for example, carries a complete set of genes; the Y chromosome has only a few genes.
Recently, it has been found and reported that some aflatoxin non-producing A. flavus strains show a complete set of genes.
Its genome contains a complete set of genes related to the Wood Ljungdahl pathway, in addition to a series of metabolic pathways for acetic acid, butyric acid, and ethanol synthesis (Zhu et al. 2015).
This finding, coupled with the observation that this complete set of genes exists in all flagella-bearing bacteria, suggests the genes arose by duplication of a single gene in the ancestor of all bacteria, Ochman says.
Inherited traits are controlled by genes and the complete set of genes within an organism's genome (genetic material) is called its genotype.
The complete set of genes identified from Figure 4C is presented in Table S1.
B. hyodysenteriae and B. murdochii possessed a complete set of genes for histidine metabolism, while B. pilosicoli did not.
Genome sequencing has revealed that D. dadantii 3937 Ech39377) has a complete set of genes for the T3SS apparatus.
Likewise, the complete set of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis was strongly co-upregulated (fig. 5d, table S6), as were a number of proliferation-associated kinases (table S8).
