Weronika Patena, a senior bioinformatics analyst in the Jonikas laboratory, wrote computer programs to analyze large amounts of data to identify genes most likely to be involved in photosynthesis.
Employing three mouse models with different disease susceptibility, two diets, and a longitudinal experimental design, it was possible to manipulate each of these factors to focus analysis on genes most likely to have a specific disease-related function.
… Research has indicated that a propensity toward optimism is strongly influenced by genes, most likely ones that govern neurotransmitters in the brain.
Additionally, the majority of mutations are heterozygous, indicating that both genes most likely function as haploinsufficient tumor suppressors.
So he ran a bigger test, using the 1,000 genes most likely to be differentially expressed in high-risk and low-risk samples.
Sequence alignment revealed that they belonged to STT3A and STT3B cluster respectively and the two genes most likely evolved independently since they located in the different clade on the phylogenetic tree.
Analyzing the DNA of the dogs that were most and least social in the experiment, researchers were able to identify five genes most likely to be associated with dogs' tendency to seek human interaction.
NEW YORK, April 14 (Reuters) - Soon after learning that his son had autism, Hollywood producer Jon Shestack ("Air Force One") tried to get researchers investigating the genetic causes of the disorder to pool their DNA samples, the better to identify genes most likely to cause that disorder.
The complete bacterial genome has been sequenced [11] and reveals a number of genes most likely involved in virulence.
The proper function of mammalian mitochondria necessitates a coordinated expression of both nuclear and mitochondrial genes, most likely due to the co-evolution of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.
Most gene families in plant genomes seem to be organized in several large clusters of highly homologous genes, most likely resulting from various duplication events.
