A gene for understanding the evolution of humans: The new gene for studying the evolution and evolution-like behaviour of humans
A gene that enables researchers to understand how the evolution process works has been found to be a gene that encodes a specific feature of the human genome.A paper published in the journal Nature Communications was co-authored by a team of geneticists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.The team found that the gene encoding the ‘transmembrane…
Bacteria are heterozygous for a mutation in a gene that causes a condition that causes them to be less aggressive
By Simon DyerBacteria are not homozygous in a mutation that causes their immune systems to become less aggressive, but scientists have discovered that they are genetically heterozygotes for a gene called RhoRhoB, which means they have two copies of the same gene.This means that one of their two copies is always present, making them heterozygote.It…
