Today, scientists no longer speak of the sequence hypothesis. Instead, the notion thatnucleotidesequences (genes) directly dictate amino acid sequences is known ascolinearity(Figure 1). Scientists have confirmed that colinearity is a regular occurrence among many viruses, like the ones Benzer studied...
'Gene' is not a typical four-letter word, It is not offensive. It is never bleeped out of TV shows. And where the meaning of most four-letter words is all too clear, that of gene is not. The more expert scientists become in molecular genetics, the less easy it is to be sure ...

In biology, a gene is a segment of DNA located on chromosomes that produce protein. Genes also exist as alleles of which you need two to produce a certain trait in offspring.

is the way a gene can be “borrowed” for a new function. For example,snake venom genesturn out to have evolved from families of genes that carry out very different functions in the heart, liver, and other organs. These sorts of evolutionary events can make it hard for simple gene-...
A gene is the basic unit of heredity. Genes are made of DNA that eventually makes functional molecules named proteins. The genetic information that will pass to the next generation is contained in the DNA of genes. Genes are part of chromosomes. Humans have two copies of each gene (and ...
