  • Abnormalities in these substances can indicate that there are changes in the DNA that underlie a genetic disorder. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Huntington's disease is an example of an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. (genome.gov)
  • Sickle cell anemia is an example of an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. (genome.gov)
  • The dramatic population expansions that occurred over the past couple thousand years had a profound consequence on our genetic variability. (curezone.com)
  • Nucleobases dictate the genetic code (A, C, G, U), straying away from these nucleobases can cause transcription to stop. (uwo.ca)
  • Prof. Schunkert explains the finding: "This protective effect against cardiovascular disease cannot be attributed to educational attainment alone -- it is clear that genetic make-up also has a strong influencing role. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Sequencing of DNA gives a direct picture of our genetic make-up, while sequencing of the RNA that is naturally present in cells gives a picture of which parts of our non-coding DNA are used and in what way. (lu.se)
  • And the tower is only made of these four metal nucleotides, in the same double helix way as it is in reality (with some artistic exceptions). (irtc.org)
  • the buildings (made of polygons), the CSG cars, the people at the base, the four nucleotides at the base. (irtc.org)
  • However, nucleotides are much more complex than the simple amino acids made by Miller and Urey, and would require much more chemical expertise to produce. (bibliotecapleyades.net)
  • DNA is made of a sequence of nucleotides bound to another sequence of complementing nucleotides in a double helix. (uaf.edu)
  • Every species on Earth - bacteria, animals, humans - has the same genetic structure, made up of four units. (scrippsnews.com)
  • The instructions necessary to produce all the living structures on earth are 'written' by the rules of the genetic code and carried by these chains of chemical letters. (bibliotecapleyades.net)
