人类辅助基因流动有助于基因抢救。小种群近亲繁殖率高会降低多样性,降低体能,增加灭绝风险。通过人类干扰引入不相关的个人或生物体可以减少近亲繁殖的程度,改善多样性,从而提高整体健康。 Tags Gene FlowGenetic VariationPopulationTransfer Of Genetic VariantsOrganismsGametesPlant PollenAnimalsNovel Genetic VariantsGene Freq...
Gene flow, the exchange of genetic material between populations is an important biological process, which shapes and maintains biodiversity. The successful movement of individuals between populations depends on multiple factors determined by species biology and the environment. One of the most important ...
Recent advances in sequencing and fluorescence microscopy now allow scientists to probe gene expression at the basic unit of information flow — the single cell. From a systems biology viewpoint, the methods of single-cell imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) hold tremendous promise ...
When we look at gene therapy from the viewpoint of a gene itself, we may not grasp the gene in the context of a cell, a tissue, or an organism that together give the gene its physiological meaning. Bioinformatics models the complex interactions among genes, cells, tissues, individuals, and...
C. albicans. We believe that the availability of 182 genome sequences ofC.albicansisolates constitutes an invaluable genetic resource for the scientific community, not only for specialists of this species to better understand the biology ofC. albicans, but also for evolutionary biologists to comprehend...
Genetic diversity, genetic structure, and gene flow in plant populations and their influencing factors are important in conservation biology. Cypripedium macranthos is one of the few wild orchids with high ornamental value in northern China. However, over the past decade, excessive collection, trading...
We here refer to the longer transcriptPp3c21_19720V3.2asYAN(a popular name of newborns in Chinese, meaning “stunning and fascinating”) and the alternative transcriptPp3c21_19720V3.1asAltYAN. To verify the identity ofYAN/AltYANas well as the deactivation of the pre-existingHrgene, we perfo...
Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is beneficial to a cell if the acquired gene confers a useful function, but is detrimental if the gene has no function, if it is incompatible with existing genes, or if it is a selfishly replicating mobile element. If the b
The most recent Alu insertions reveal different degrees of polymorphism in human populations, and a series of characteristics that make them particularly suitable genetic markers for Human Biology studies. This has led these polymorphisms to be used to analyse the origin and phylogenetic relationships be...
(SAR) inArabidopsis thaliana, similarities and differences between inner and outer cotyledon inBrassica napusduring seed development, andBrassica napuswhole seed development. We used these four datasets to show how OPTricluster can be used to tackle a variety of problems in Computational Biology. For...
