Allele-specific gene expression in a wild nonhuman primate population.
Natural populations hold enormous potential for evolutionary genetic studies, especially when phenotypic, genetic and environmental data are all available on the same individuals. However, untangling the genotype-phenotype relationship in natural populations remains a major challenge. Here, we describe results of an investigation of one class of phenotype, allele-specific gene expression (ASGE)...
متن کاملAllele-specific gene expression uncovered.
Genetic variation in populations can result in variation in levels of gene expression but the extent to which this occurs has been unclear. In this article, recent studies of allele-specific expression among autosomal non-imprinted genes are reviewed. These new data provide evidence that differential expression is relatively common and that allelic differences are heritable and can be highly co...
متن کاملAllele Frequency of CYP2C19 Gene Polymorphisms in a Healthy Iranian Population
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) plays an important role in the metabolism and elimination of a wide range of medications. The polymorphisms of this enzyme give rise to substantial inter-individual and inter-ethnic variability in drug excretion rates and final serum concentrations. For this reason, therapeutic re-sponses and adverse drug reactions may vary from one person to another. In this stud...
متن کاملMarking and gene expression by a lentivirus vector in transplanted human and nonhuman primate CD34(+) cells.
Recently, gene delivery vectors based on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been developed as an alternative mode of gene delivery. These vectors have a number of advantages, particularly in regard to the ability to infect cells which are not actively dividing. However, the use of vectors based on human immunodeficiency virus raises a number of issues, not the least of which is safety; the...
متن کاملFather–daughter inbreeding avoidance in a wild primate population
The most common way by which social animals avoid breeding with relatives is for members of one or both sexes to disperse before reproducing [1]. In capuchin monkeys — as in most primates — males disperse while females benefit from lifelong relationships with maternal kin within the group [2]. If α-males — who sire most offspring in a given group — retain their rank for longer than 6 years, the...
