In genetics, papers published in 1980 and 1984 significantly advanced knowledge of how genes affect development. In the physical sciences, 1983 and 1984 saw papers that described the large-scale structure of the Universe and the formation of galaxies, and a supernova in 1987 afforded the ...
Mendel’s First Law requires explanation because of the possibility of ‘meiotic drivers’, genes that distort fair segregation for selfish gain. The suppression of drive, and the restoration of fair segregation, is often attributed to genes at loci unlinked to the drive locus—such genes cannot ...
Scientists realized that the molecular makeup of genes must include a way for genetic information to be copied efficiently. Each cell of a living organism requires instructions on how and when to build the proteins that are the basic building blocks of body structures and the “workhorses” resp...
clustering proves itself as a versatile exploratory tool. It can help to unveil new cancer subtypes or to identify groups of genes that respond similarly to a specific experimental condition. In order to obtain useful clustering results, however, differentparametersof the clustering procedure must be...
We translated the parameters inferred from MIGRAINE into effective population size (Ngenes) using the mutation rate commonly used for microsatellites: 5 × 10−4 (Sun et al., 2012). Inference about introduction scenarios from ABC on microsatellites ABC analyses were performed on microsatellite data...
Moreover, there was no evidence to show that the enzymes were not products of hereditary determiners or genes, rather than these genes themselves, and they might even be products removed by several or many steps from the genes, just as many other known substances in the cell must be. ...

8). It was worth noting that the over-dominance loci mentioned here may also include the pseudo-overdominance loci, which was conferred by tightly linked genes in opposite phase. With respect to kilo-grain weight, whether in terms of count or contribution of phenotypic variation, QTLs with ...
