However, the lifetime of an old Y chromosome is often prolonged by the addition of segments transferred from autosomes (Graves, 2005). Acquisition of new genes from autosomes mediated by retrotransposition has been shown in humans (Lahn and Page, 1999), and a similar duplicative transfer has ...

The MHC consists of three subfamilies (classes) of which class I and II play important roles in the antigen presenting process (Kelley et al., 2005). The genes of these two classes code for glycoproteins that bind antigens and present these on the cell surface to be recognized by T-...

Heredity (遗传) is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same...
But what about gender identity? In other words, who we feel we are, at a deep level? Could genetics play a role here too? Possibly. For instance, some evidence suggests that genes involved in the production and function of sex hormones may be important, such as: ...

Repetitive DNA sequences playing critical roles in driving evolution, inducing variation, and regulating gene expression. In this review, we summarized the definition, arrangement, and structural characteristics of repeats. Besides, we introduced diverse biological functions of repeats and reviewed existing...
