We’ll read more about mitochondrial DNA later in this chapter. Genetic data tell us there is no such thing as “race”. At least, not in the way most people think about it, which is a few very simple categories
The hunt for pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations is often fueled by the seeming novelty of mutations that are either nonsynonymous or affect the protein synthesis machinery in patients. In order to determine the novelty of a detected mutation, the working geneticist nearly always consults...
What is the significance of mitochondrial DNA? What is the unusual feature in T4 DNA synthesis? What advantage does this confer to phage? Explain the purpose of DNA. What is the role of DNA gyrase? What are the characteristics of the DNA code?
Although not unusual, it may be difficult to reconcile the discordance between nuclear and mitochon- drial data to infer the history of populations, given the diversity of microevolutionary processes that are potentially involved36. However, while the northern Apennine is a well known suture zone ...
was localised to the mitochondrial outer membrane.2 Since the cluster of publications emerged in 1994 ± 1995 showing that cyto- chrome c (cyt c), that most innocuous of pink proteins, is a key initiator of apoptotic cell death (for an unusual review, see http://www.ergito.com/gtexpts/...
The human genome is, in simplest terms, our DNA. More specifically, the genome refers to the complete collection of information contained in the nucleic acids that make up our chromosomes and genetic material, including mitochondrial DNA. Our genome in...
A remarkable finding was the unusual magnitude of the increase, 15- to 20-fold for EAV, 15- to 25-fold for SARS-CoV, and ∼50-fold for HCoV-229E, which is similar to the enhancement observed for viral SF2 helicases, like HCV NS3, which could be stimulated up to 15-fold (Kadare...

Survivin (also named BIRC5) is a well-known cancer therapeutic target. Since its discovery more than two decades ago, the use of survivin as a target for cancer therapeutics has remained a central goal of survivin studies in the cancer field. Many studie
What is the unusual feature in T4 DNA synthesis? What advantage does this confer to phage? If you were given a sample of chromosomal DNA and asked to determine if it is bacterial or eukaryotic, what experiment would you perform? What would be your expected results?
