  • And in fact, they can also benefit the bacteria because they can contain genes that code for useful functions such as antibiotic resistance and immune evasion. (cdc.gov)
  • In some species of Phaseolus and Vigna the polytenics are more clearly defined and, therefore, better suited to the study of this type of chromatin organization. (scielo.br)
  • Genes affecting coat color are relatively easy to discover and study since they obviously affect the appearance of the animal. (creation.com)
  • There are considerable effects of these extra genes on mouse brain development and behavior," said Faycal Guedj, Ph.D., staff scientist in NHGRI's Center for Precision Health Research and first author of the study. (nih.gov)
  • A new study of nearly 500,000 individuals finds that many genes affect same-sex behavior, including newly identified candidates that may regulate smell and sex hormones. (theconversation.com)
  • If the ends of the chromosome fuse with no loss of genetic material, the individual retains the normal phenotype with relatively slight differences. (wikipedia.org)
  • And these unisex rules will be in the same ponds at the same time as these normal sexually reproducing species. (scientificamerican.com)
  • These genes are found mainly in Enterobacteriaceae and affect the dynamics of development and acquisition of quinolone resistance. (cdc.gov)
  • Although each stock had a distinct karyotype, in general the differences found between strains and/or species within each complex were not clear enough for parasite identification. (fiocruz.br)
  • This research could be useful beyond cotton for exploitation of new and diverse sources of variation for the genetic improvement of other crops such as wheat and rice where a substantial number of chromosome substitution lines are already available. (usda.gov)
  • This lack of variation can be explained by the fact that natural selection, which actually eliminates variation, works stronger on the X chromosome than on the remaining chromosomes. (scienceblog.com)
