In molecular biology, competing endogenous RNAs (abbreviated ceRNAs) regulate other RNA transcripts by competing for shared microRNAs (miRNAs). [1] Models for ceRNA regulation describe how changes in the expression of one or multiple miRNA targets alter the number of unbound miRNAs and lead to observable changes in miRNA activity - i.e., the abundance of other miRNA targets.
In comparative genomics, synteny is the preserved order of genes on chromosomes of related species indicating their descent from a common ancestor.Synteny provides a framework in which the conservation of homologous genes and gene order is identified between genomes of different species. [9]
In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, [1] sometimes referred to as Gause's law, [2] is a proposition that two species which compete for the same limited resource cannot coexist at constant population values. When one species has even the slightest advantage over another, the one with the advantage will dominate in the long term.
The Center for Genetics and Society was founded in October 2001 under the leadership of Richard A. Hayes, Ph.D., to advocate for social oversight and control of new human biotechnologies. [6] It drew from and continues to promote discussions and collaborations with key leaders in science , medicine , women's health , racial justice , disability ...
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a molecular cytogenetic method for analysing copy number variations (CNVs) relative to ploidy level in the DNA of a test sample compared to a reference sample, without the need for culturing cells.
Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, [1] was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product of two different and interacting evolutionary processes: genetic evolution and cultural evolution.
It was established in 1967 and covers all topics related to the genetics of viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, including humans. The current editor is Tatjana Piotrowski . [ 2 ] As of 2024, Journal Citation Reports gives the journal a 2023 impact factor of 8.7, ranking it eleventh out of 191 journals in the category "Genetics ...
Original plates of Darwin and Mendel from Volume 1, Issue 1 of the American Breeders Magazine, 1910. The American Genetic Association (AGA) is a US-based professional scientific organization dedicated to the study of genetics and genomics which was founded as the American Breeders Association in 1903.
