Sentence examples for elementary gene from inspiring English sources
Furthermore, the Dintor framework provides a means for elementary gene set enrichment analysis [ 37] based on GO terms.
One of the strategies used was based on dissection of the complex trait using the elementary gene expression profiles, as first performed in 2003 by Schadt et al. [ 10].
Therefore, duplication must be counter-balanced by the opposite elementary process, gene loss.
Transcriptome data offer the possibility of dissecting such a complex trait in more elementary phenotypes (gene expressions correlated with the trait) and therefore make it possible to separate the population into genetically homogenous subgroups using transcriptome profiling.
No other evidence of pairing was found in the elementary IRK gene group, except that a possible weak linkage between Kcnj12 and Kcnj2 subbranches was found as listed chromosomal location in Additional file 5 [see Additional file 5].
There was also evidence of genuine tandem duplication within the branch of the elementary IRK gene group, as shown in the paired Kcnj2 and Kcnj16 subbranches (Fig. 8; Table 1).
We employed the embedding chains technique to estimate the expected number of elementary evolutionary events (gene duplications and deletions) preceding the formation of gene families of the observed size and found that the mean number of events exceeds the family size by orders of magnitude, suggesting a highly dynamic process of genome evolution.
Gene duplication, gene loss, and innovation seem to comprise a reasonable minimal set of elementary events for modeling genome evolution.
Although the 'error-free' pathway seems to be the most reasonable, the 'error-prone' mechanism, which transforms, e.g. UV light-induced DNA lesions into mutations, is elementary for altering genes by mutagenesis.
When building evolutionary scenarios, we consider three elementary evolutionary events: i) gene loss, ii) emergence of a new gene (COG), and iii) acquisition of a gene (COG) via HGT.
Low begins with an elementary lesson in selfish gene theory, noting that kin-directed altruism and cooperation with others are part of the biological story.
