Horizontal Gene Transfer: Accidental Inheritance Drives Adaptation
Few facts in biology are more certain than offspring inheriting genetic material from their parents, but not all genes are acquired this way. A new report documents the horizontal transfer of a potentially adaptive gene between distantly related plants.
متن کاملAdaptation to abiotic conditions drives local adaptation in bacteria and viruses coevolving in heterogeneous environments
Parasite local adaptation, the greater performance of parasites on their local compared with foreign hosts, has important consequences for the maintenance of diversity and epidemiology. While the abiotic environment may significantly affect local adaptation, most studies to date have failed either to incorporate the effects of the abiotic environment, or to separate them from those of the bioti...
متن کاملAberrant Gene Expression in Humans
Gene expression as an intermediate molecular phenotype has been a focus of research interest. In particular, studies of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) have offered promise for understanding gene regulation through the discovery of genetic variants that explain variation in gene expression levels. Existing eQTL methods are designed for assessing the effects of common variants, but not...
متن کاملP-128: Optimization of Human LH Gene Expression by Codon Usage Adaptation in CHO Cell Line
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:897:"Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) belongs to glycoprotein hormones which is composed of two non-covalently linked subunit, α and β. The α-subunit is similar in all glycoprotein hormones, whereas the β-subunit is conferring the hormonal specificity. This hormone has important roles in the growth and maturity of sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics and st...
متن کاملGenomics of local adaptation with gene flow.
Gene flow is a fundamental evolutionary force in adaptation that is especially important to understand as humans are rapidly changing both the natural environment and natural levels of gene flow. Theory proposes a multifaceted role for gene flow in adaptation, but it focuses mainly on the disruptive effect that gene flow has on adaptation when selection is not strong enough to prevent the loss ...
