  • However, the proximity of CRISPR and cas genes strongly suggests that they have related functions which is hard to reconcile with the repair hypothesis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In summary, the results demonstrated that USF1 binds to the promoter region of thousands of genes and affects a large part of DEGs indirectly. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • For instance, a previous study by the authors validated that USF1 binds to the core promoter of APOBEC3G and increases its transcription level in hepatocytes ( 7 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
  • Another way bases can be mismatched is by simply shifting their position in space, resulting in an inappropriate bond forming between bases that are not commonly paired (e.g. thymine-guanine), in a process known as wobbling. (ukessays.com)

  • Several lines of evidence suggest that these changes were adaptive: (i) copy-number changes reached high frequency or were fixed in a short time, (ii) many independent populations harbored CNVs spanning the same genes, and (iii) larger average size of CNVs in adapting populations relative to spontaneous CNVs.
