In the context of livestock genetics, the inference that, for a given trait of interest, a gene (or version thereof) must exist in a certain part of a given chromosome, need not culminate in the precise identification and localisation of that gene. As a therapeutic or corrective intervention...
but it is unknown whether dioecy evolved in a common ancestor or independently in different subgenera. Here, we sequence the small peritelomeric X- and Y-linked regions ofP. deltoideschromosome XIX. Two genes are present only in the Y-linked region. One is a duplication of a non-...
(Po0.013), and four nonsynonymous coding differences exist between surface and cavefish, though all appear to be in evolutionary labile sites. Importantly, these genes represent only a subset of the interesting candidates under QTL. Candidate genes in QTL with potentially pleiotropic effects. For ...
However, different isoforms of some MHC class I genes exist. These may splice out some of these domains to produce other membrane bound versions of the protein or secreted forms. Additionally, the UL16-binding protein (ULBP) and retinoic acid early transcript (RAET) families, known in ...
Multiple naturally occurring sn alleles exist in pea, one of which likely forms the basis for the early flowering behavior of an Alaska pea cultivar that was used to expand the range of pea cultivation in the United States beginning in 1880 (Liew et al., 2014). sn plants that also carry...
Further study is needed to determine whether both duplicates in each pair exist at the base of the Eutharian lineage. In summary, while tandem duplicates exhibit more highly correlated expression than other pairs, they are less likely to be linked across all mammalian genomes. It could be that...
The novel mutant allele hsi2-4 was isolated in a genetic screen to identify Arabidopsis mutants with constitutively elevated expression of a glutathione S-transferase F8::luciferase (GSTF8::LUC) reporter gene in Arabidopsis. The hsi2-4 mutant harbors a p
Two gene copies exist for her4 (Sieger et al., 2004). Both genes, her4.1 and her4.2, are highly similar and we cannot distinguish between both copies. Therefore we refer to them as her4, but the probe for in situ hybridisation is generated from the her4.1 template. In detail, the ...
ROKU ranks the genes according to their overall tissue specificity using Shannon entropy and detects the tissues that are specific to each gene, if any exist, using an outlier detection method. We introduced ROKU in our study because it was superior to conventional entropy-based methods for the ...
a list of 347 genes with ocular phenotypes was curated. Literature searches identified 42 genetic phenotypes known to exist in vertebrates (Known Phenotype), 44 genes described to cause an ocular phenotype differing from the phenotype described in the present study (Novel Phenotype), and most intere...
