Furthermore, the mitochondrial atp1 gene was recently shown to have been converted by homologs of plastid origin on a number of occasions during angiosperm evolution [ 71, 72].
These programmed changes may be the origins of a number of diseases in later life, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, and noninsulin- dependent diabetes.
The Acc1 gene is present as a single copy in Triticum (wheat) species on the homoeologous group 2 chromosomes [ 58] and has been used to achieve high phylogenetic resolution and identify the hybrid origins of a number of polyploid species [ 59- 61].
The observed associations between low Apgar scores and childhood cancer risk were not explained by other adverse birth outcomes, which have been widely used as the proxy indicators of fetal environment to explain fetal origins for a number of adult diseases.

One particularly well-understood specialized aspect of epigenetics during development is genomic imprinting, which describes the specific allelic expression, depending on the parent of origin, of a small number of genes.
In agreement with BLAST analyses, phylogenetic analyses supported that, independent of their cDNA library of origin, a number of GHF family transcripts (for example, GHF1, GHF9 and GHF16) are endogenous to the R. flavipes genome (not shown).
The inability of a protein to adopt its native and soluble conformation (protein misfolding) is the origin of an increasing number of human diseases.
In contrast to the traditional cosmological models of a single, finite universe, this worldview provides for the origin of an infinite number of complex systems by chance, even as the probability of complexity emerging in any given region of the multiverse is extremely low.
