Changes, or mutations, in the human prodynorphin regulatory sequence must have enhanced survival over other primate species, the investigators contend, while the geographic differences that they found may have bestowed as yet unknown advantages on specific human populations. Isolation of the first piscine transforming growth factor [Beta] gene: analysis reveals tissue specific expression and a potential regulatory sequence in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Having access to the mouse genome should allow researchers to make important discoveries in the regulation of human genes based on conserved gene structure and line-up, including DNA regulatory sequences outside of the protein-coding regions that are shared with mouse genes. |
