The tests have detected the Cry9C gene, which is made of DNA.
In this respect it seems similar to the FOXP2 gene, which has turned up in communication behaviors from bats to people, or to the PAX6 gene, which has been involved in all of evolution's many approaches to vision.
Hence her decision to write The Solitary Self: Darwin and the Selfish Gene, which was published in 2010.
(Hence the appeal of spurious science suggesting there is a 'gay gene', which would seem to close the argument).
Though I suppose that does rather depend on whether or not you have the TAS2R38 gene, which affects your tongue.
The potato variety Desiree has been transformed with the Rpi-vnt1.1 gene, which confers resistance to P. infestans.
That can boost the activity of the adjacent rice gene, which may produce noticeable changes in the plant.
Researchers breed a strain of male Aedes with a single modified gene, which programs its offspring for self-destruction.
TKT puts DNA into human cells grown in culture to turn on the EPO gene, which is usually dormant.
The GFP gene, which has its origins in jellyfish, expresses proteins that fluoresce when illuminated with certain frequencies of light.
In another chapter she looks at the search for the gay gene, which is again the search for a genetic cause for a socially constructed identity.
