FROM SINGLE GENE TO PHENOTYPE: QUESTIONING A

To evaluate well the contribution to phenotypic diversity, it is therefore necessary to clarify a functional transcript, and its relation to the gene, and to expound the role of resultant products in the phenotype. A typical definition of a functional transcript is a unit of RNA or DNA which, when t ...

... biologists are able to identify a mouse counterpart for at least 99 percent of all our genes. In other words, we humans do not, as some once assumed, have more genes than our pets, pests, livestock or even a puffer fish. Disappointing, perhaps, but we’ll have to get over it. When biologists look at ...
