The Origins of Genetics
... Geneticists have developed specific terms and ways of representing an individual’s genetic makeup. For example, letters are often used to represent alleles. Dominant alleles are indicated by writing the first letter of the trait as a capital letter. For instance, in pea plants, purple flower color i ...

SCARFACE in plant vein patterning - Development
... In vascular plants, veins form a network that interconnects all parts of the organism. Veins contain two tissues, xylem and phloem, that transport water and dissolved mineral nutrients (xylem), or sugars, amino acids and other compounds (phloem). Broad organs, such as leaves or cotyledons, have acut ...

Unconventional initiator tRNAs sustain Escherichia coli

All tRNAs share the same clover leaf-like structure but belong to two distinct categories: initiator tRNA (of which there is a single representative) and elongator tRNAs (of which there are many representatives).

Epistasis
Epistasis is a phenomenon that consists of the effect of one gene being dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes' (genetic background). Similarly, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, population genetics, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them leading to non-additive effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of traits.
