The evolution of the MUC7 gene, which encodes a saliva protein, was studied by scientists at the University at Buffalo. To capture the gene’s proline-, threonine-, and serine-rich tandem repeat copy ...

“Such knowledge on physiological decline throughout pregnancy and the remarkable rejuvenation right after delivery will assist with revolutionizing our approach to treating the elderly.” “We ...

We learn that we inherit two copies of every gene, one from each of our parents, but the story is a bit more complex. Some parts of the genome may be duplicated, or deleted, in some people. The number ...

Copy number variations (CNVs) are a pervasive form of genomic variation that entail duplications or deletions of DNA segments ranging from kilobases to megabases. In animal genomes, CNVs contribute ...

Association of SPARC expression with metastatic progression and prostate cancer-specific mortality after radical prostatectomy. Post-treatment alterations in 18F-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) and FDG PET ...

Molecular analysis of thymidylate synthase in circulating tumor cells as a potential marker of response to therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Copy number variation (CNV) refers to an increase or decrease in the number of copies of a DNA sequence in a genome, which can subsequently be implicit in promoting aberrant gene expression patterns ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Gene duplication is an important driver of genomic diversity that can promote adaptive evolution. However, like most mutations, a newly ...
