  • The EWSR1/FLI1 fusion gene occurs in approximately 85 percent of Ewing sarcomas. (medlineplus.gov)
  • In any individual patient, t(11;22) fuses one of many observed combinations of exons from EWS and FLI1 to form the fusion message. (medscape.com)
  • Genes which determine animal complexity - or what makes humans so much more complex than a fruit fly or a sea urchin - have been identified for the first time. (news-medical.net)
  • The bifunction fusion protein of hepatitis B virus e antigen and mutant green fluorescent protein was expressed in E. coli BL21 strain. (virosin.org)
  • Duplication, sequence divergence, and recombination are the major contributors at work in gene evolution. (wikipedia.org)
  • When gene fusion happens in non-coding sequence region, it can lead to the misregulation of the expression of a gene now under the control of the cis-regulatory sequence of another gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • In our previous work, we developed a six-point classification scoring schema with annotation pertaining to protein family scores, orthology, protein interaction/association studies, bidirectional best BLAST hits, sorting signals, known databases and visualizers which were used to validate protein interactions.
