Beyond the Transcripts: What Controls Protein Variation?
It was long thought that if you knew the contents of the genome, and which genes made which proteins, you would know the basic instructions for building an organism and all the processes it needs to stay alive. Organisms convert extensive genomic instructions into a specific protein repertoire via transcription and translation. It’s clear that the act of transcription is tightly controlled by t...
متن کاملWhat Controls Variation in Human Skin Color?
Diversity of human appearance and form has intrigued biologists for centuries, but nearly 100 years after the term “genetics’’ was coined by William Bateson in 1906, the genes that underlie this diversity are an unsolved mystery. One of the most obvious phenotypes that distinguish members of our species, differences in skin pigmentation, is also one of the most enigmatic. There is a tremendous ...
متن کاملWhat does electrophoretic variation tell us about protein variation?
Before the introduction of DNA sequencing methods into population genetics by Kreitman (1983), the major source of information about genetic variation among organisms in natural populations came from electrophoretic studies of proteins. The amount of information acquired during 25 years of major electrophoretic activity is staggering and, for purely technical reasons, is likely to remain orders...
متن کاملWhat controls the interannual variation of the wet season onsets over the Amazon?
Previous studies have established that sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic are the main forcing of the interannual variation of the wet season onsets in the Amazon. However, this variation appears to be complex and not uniquely determined by SSTAs. What causes such a complexity and to what extent the interannual variation of the wet season onsets is pr...
متن کاملWhat controls PTEN and what it controls (in prostate cancer).
T he standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is androgen deprivation therapy since almost all PCa growth is initially reliant on the androgen receptor (AR). However, almost all patients develop resistance to this therapy within 18–24 months, and current treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is extremely limited, despite the advent of new drugs that target the A...
