A yeast pheromone released by an a cell will stimulate an undifferentiated alpha cell to transform into a specia ...

Genetic variants that are associated with common human diseases do not lead directly to disease, but instead act on intermediate, molecular phenotypes that in turn induce changes in higher-order disease traits. Therefore, identifying the molecular phenotypes that vary in response to changes in DNA a ...
