In our first published paper, we described 20 or so "control genes" affecting the subdivision of the embryo's body into regions.
Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) may result from mutations in genes affecting the intravascular lipolysis of triglyceride (TG -rich lipoproTG -rich
In an RNAi screen of genes affecting the morphological complexity of heterogeneous populations, we found that most genes regulate the transition between discrete shapes rather than generating new morphologies.
In an RNAi screen of genes affecting the morphological complexity of heterogeneous cell populations, we found that most genes regulate the transition between discrete shapes rather than generating new morphologies.
For instance, genes affecting the production of keratin an important component of hair and skin showed more Neanderthal influence than most.
All it needs to do is increase the abundance of some of the genes affecting the trait in question, a process known as a "soft sweep".
Conversely, little is known regarding the role and/or clinical impact of KRAS mutations in the setting of the hematological malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and only in recent years extensive sequencing data have highlighted the recurrent mutations of genes affecting the Ras MAPK pathway in CLL [2, 3].
Engineered strains without foreign genes but containing useful mutations in genes affecting the beneficial effect of the bacterium in terms of plant growth promotion and biocontrol of pathogens.
In addition, McGowen and colleagues discovered evidence for positive selection in genes affecting the cardiovascular system, which the authors believe were adaptations for carrying blood and oxygen to tissues during prolonged dives.
In applying genetic engineered plant growth-promoting bacteria, we have to distinguish two different levels: (1) Engineered strains without foreign genes but containing useful mutations in genes affecting the beneficial effect of the bacterium in terms of plant growth promotion and biocontrol of pathogens.
Complex pleiotropic effects were also reported for other QTLs or genes affecting the panicle, e.g., gene OsSPL14 (WFP) affecting shoot branching at vegetative stage and tiller final number (Miura et al. 2010), and gene APO1 increasing leaf number, panicle primary branch number and harvest index (Ikeda et al. 2007; Terao et al. 2010).
