Many genes for taste and smell show signs of selective pressure, perhaps reflecting the change in foodstuffs as people moved from nomadic to sedentary existence.
A study published in 2013 found that just 15 minutes' meditation in novices had immediate effects on the expression of many genes, for example increasing the activity of the gene that makes telomerase and reducing the activity of genes involved in inflammatory and stress responses.
Recently, we have sequenced the whole genome of A. cellulolyticus (unpublished data) and could deduce many genes for saccharifying enzymes.
With the explosion of sequence data, many genes for terpenoid metabolism can be characterized by biochemical approaches and used for the microbial production of terpenoids.
A key challenge is that, at least in developed countries, deaf people tend to marry each other, thus mingling many genes for impaired hearing.
Because the main target in breeding for maturity is the time required for heading, many genes for heading time have been cloned and the regulatory networks clarified (Tsuji et al. 2013; Matsubara et al. 2014; Shrestha et al. 2014).
NtrC, a global regulator, activates the transcription of many genes for the uptake and catabolism of various nitrogen sources and should be activated only during nitrogen limitation (Chubukov et al. 2014).
Many genes for Na+-dependent nutrient transporters were recruited to use the high Na+ content as an energy source.
We present discoveries of the imprinting status of many genes for the neonatal brain, including genes not known to be imprinted in any tissue.
Previously it has been shown that B. hyodysenteriae lacks many genes for the biosynthesis of small molecules, and therefore must acquire these from the environment [15].
In contrast, many genes for wall-associated kinases, which bind to pectin [42], were activated by RDV infection (Supplementary Figure S5).
