  • In the genes for the dog coat colours there are four alleles on the Agouti-locus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Although the allele "e" is a recessive allele on the extension-locus itself, the presence of two copies leverages the dominance of other coat colour genes. (wikipedia.org)
  • We searched the expressed sequence tag databank for reiterated trinucleotides and selected EST00493 (D2S196E) with 14 tandem ACA triplets as a potentially polymorphic locus. (scite.ai)
  • Analyzing approximately 1.6 million STR loci, we estimate the empirical de novo STR mutation rate to be 5.24 × 10 −5 mutations per locus per generation. (biomedcentral.com)
  • citation needed] In Mendelian inheritance, genes have only two alleles, such as a and A. Mendel consciously chose pairs of genetic traits, represented by two alleles for his inheritance experiments. (wikipedia.org)
  • In nature, such genes often exist in several different forms and are therefore said to have multiple alleles. (wikipedia.org)
  • An individual usually has only two copies of each gene, but many different alleles are often found within a population. (wikipedia.org)
  • A rabbit's coat color is determined by a single gene that has at least four different alleles. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] Many other genes have multiple alleles, including the human genes for ABO blood type. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] If one or more genes cannot be expressed because of another genetic factor hindering their expression, this epistasis can make it impossible even for dominant alleles on certain other gene-loci to have an effect on the phenotype. (wikipedia.org)
  • Size variation was readily detected, with four common alleles containing 12-15 repeats. (scite.ai)
  • These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by the genomic expansion of CTG repeats, in which RNA-binding proteins, such as muscleblind-like protein, are sequestered in the nucleus, and abnormal splicing is observed in various genes. (bvsalud.org)
  • The observation of heteroduplex patterns in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (instead of the more commonly used denaturing gels) can thus be utilized to increase the informativeness of microsatellite polymorphisms by unraveling otherwise cryptic sequence variation. (scite.ai)
  • Many human genes, including one for a protein that controls cholesterol levels in the blood, show co-dominance too. (wikipedia.org)
  • RPA enhances in vitro melting, FAN1 excision, and repair of slipped-CAGs and protects against CAG expansions in human cells. (bvsalud.org)
  • Improving our understanding of these mutations would increase our knowledge of the mutational dynamics of the genome and may uncover additional loci that contribute to disease. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We estimate the average number of de novo genome-wide STR mutations per individual to be approximately 85, which is similar to the average number of observed de novo single nucleotide variants. (biomedcentral.com)
  • During expansion mutations, single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) form slipped-DNAs. (bvsalud.org)
  • People with the heterozygous form of this gene produce two different forms of the protein, each with a different effect on cholesterol levels. (wikipedia.org)
  • RPA overexpression in SCA1 mouse brains ablates expansions, coincident with decreased ATXN1 aggregation, reduced brain DNA damage, improved neuron morphology, and rescued motor phenotypes. (bvsalud.org)
  • Domestic cats have a gene with a similar effect on the X-chromosome. (wikipedia.org)
  • These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] When genes are located on the same chromosome and no crossing over took place before the segregation of the chromosomes into the gametes, the genetic traits will be inherited in connection, because of the genetic linkage. (wikipedia.org)
  • Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by expansion of a germline and somatically unstable CTG repeat in the DMPK gene. (nih.gov)
