As with duplications, deletions can affect gene dosage and thus the resulting phenotype. Also, the larger the deletion, the more genes are likely to be involved, and the more drastic the resulting ...

Evolution is the basis of biological diversity, driven by mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and survive. One such ...

A significant advancement in knowledge of the link between cognition and genetics has been made thanks to a study led by ...

Gene duplication is very important for the evolution of species because it can facilitate the creation of new genes. Normally, changes to genes result in loss of function and so are weeded out by ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome ... meaning it can be inherited from just one parent—of many gene mutations. The condition can lead to complications as severe as ...

(A) Genes can have unequal rates of evolution. (B) Gene loss and gene duplication are common. (C) Gene flow can occur between lineages after their separation. (D) Recombination between neighboring ...

In 1970, Japanese-American biologist Susumu Ohno proposed that the main source of new genes is gene duplication. When the body’s genome has two copies of the same gene, one copy can continue ...

Around one-third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harbor FLT3 gene mutations which are associated with poor prognosis and high risk of relapse. Several compounds targeting FLT3 internal ...
