What the RNA detectives hoped to find was the single nucleotide polymorphism, or the variation, that controlled needle drop.
Thus, the haplotype-tagging indels are linked to genetic variation that controls significant difference in numbers of surviving P. berghei oocysts.
Marker-assisted selection is based on the association between DNA variation and genes that control a trait of interest and has become an important approach towards improving production traits in animal breeding.
In addition to identifying two rare or novel mutations in BRCA2, we have identified several coding single nucleotide variations that affect genes controlling DNA repair in the BRCA1/2 pathway.
Snow cover over the Northern Hemisphere plays a crucial role in the Earth's hydrology and surface energy balance, and modulates feedbacks that control variations of global climate.
The genomic elements that control variations in gene expression, and hence cell fate, are those associated with transcription factors.
We also used sequence evolution as a tool to identify orthologs and paralogs, as well as pathways for the biosynthesis of phenolic acid and its interactions with other pathways, and revealed that functional divergence of orthologs and paralogs may lead to variations in gene functions that control the active compound contents among different tissues and plants.
We present new observations from the Marañón Fold-Thrust Belt (MFTB) in central Peru that show Cretaceous facies changes and thickness variations that may have been controlled by a series of faults in the basement of the West Peruvian Trough (WPT), separating this basin into smaller sub-basins.
The ryegrass transcriptome map displays the genetic location of 732 expressed genes putatively underlying specific biochemical or physiological functions that control variation for agronomically important traits.
A large study of almost a thousand autistic individuals for genetic variations that make them different from control individuals has found that Autism Spectrum Disorder has many different genetic causes: there isn't one single gene responsible for ASD, but a constellation of hundreds, each with the potential to affect the development of the brain and cause the symptoms of autism.
