If this association is causal, the HMs may either be deposited there first to regulate the transcription or, alternatively, deposited as a consequence of the gene being transcribed.
Regardless of whether the higher densities of L1 repeats are a cause or a consequence of the gene family expansion, this demonstrates the putative link between the accumulation of these elements and the gene family expansion.
Such deletions can give information in a unique way about the function and consequences of the genes on the parts of the chromosome deleted.
All the more it is important to pinpoint the relative quantity of these heteroplasmic mutations to estimate functional consequences of the genes involved.
As a consequence most of the genes coding the biosynthetic pathway of menaquinol are predicted as essential in the new scenario.
Beside the remarkable number of reports describing dystrophin gene expression and the pathogenic consequences of the gene mutations in dystrophinopathies, the full scenario of the DMD transcription dynamics remains however, poorly understood.
According to an interview with Meredith Schafer from the University of Arkansas, who presented the report, "We really don't know what the consequences of the gene escape [are].
To dissect the biological consequences of the gene targeting by the different MSL and NSL proteins in ESCs, we systematically depleted core members of both complexes (MOF, KANSL3, MSL1, MSL2).
Co-down-regulation of CLIPS and the translational machinery is expected to exacerbate the consequences of the gene mistranslations due to the critical role of these chaperones in folding newly synthesized proteins.
Quantification of the effects of gene flow of GM crops involves both the potential to produce viable offspring (compatibility) and the consequences of the gene flow for population viability, i.e. fitness (Hails and Morley, 2005).
