The genes described in the new study went undiscovered for so long because they’re teeny: They top out at about 300 nucleotides in length, while a typical human gene is 10 to 15,000 base pairs on ...

What's more, according to their analysis of modern human DNA, one of these isolated populations left a stronger legacy in our genes than the other ... A deep-rooted population structure emerged, ...

How are genomes compared and what can these findings tell us about how the overall structure of genes and ... is shown in Figure 2, where a human gene (pyruvate kinase: PKLR) and the corresponding ...

New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human ... structure and protein-DNA interactions. This research marks a step forward in studying the smaller "words" in the language of gene ...

Computational prediction of gene structure is crucial for interpreting ... to elucidate the structures of the 20–40% of genes in a typical eukaryotic genome that are expressed only at low ...
