Deletion is the loss of genetic material.

Countries are not genetically programmed like animals.

These factors are often considered genetic.

Neither employers, nor insurance companies, may require genetic testing.

Other genetic factors are being investigated, of which there are likely to be many.

You just need to incorporate a certain number of traits in a very kind of genetic way.

While most are single, rare multiple cases occur (usually in a hereditary syndrome).

If genetic material from another species is added to the host, the resulting organism is called transgenic.

Kallmann syndrome is a genetic condition where the primary symptom is a failure to start puberty or a failure to fully complete it.

Some depression appears to be genetic, in which case genetic therapy may ultimately offer a solution.

Male breast cancer (male breast neoplasm) is a rare cancer in men that originates from the breast.

Thus, the genetically determined portion of an individual s breast cancer risk is the result of several or even many genetic variants and mutations.

In 1906, the Diet, with its hereditary rather than universally elected representation, was dissolved and the modern Parliament of Finland was established.

The modification of existing, or evolution of new, biochemical pathways (and, ultimately, the evolution of new species of organisms) depended on specific genetic mutations.

Cloning and stem cell research, although not considered genetic engineering, are closely related and genetic engineering can be used within them.

Phenotype mixing is a form of interaction between two virus particles, each of which holds its own unique genetic material.

The toxin from B. thuringiensis (Bt toxin) has been incorporated directly into plants through the use of genetic engineering.

The situation changed radically when it was discovered that viruses contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA.

This new form of prion disease had distinctive clinical and pathological features, and occurred in young patients within a single genetic subgroup.

A compulsory medical examination for prospective couples in order to ensure the absence or causes of hereditary or contagious diseases which portend danger for the child.

But recent evidence suggests that large changes, caused by the absorption of a chunk of alien genetic material, may be just as significant.

Gaucher s disease, for example, is a rare crippling genetic condition that, in its more severe forms, usually killed its victims in childhood.

Also, a genetic study in 2009 revealed a small but statistically significant genetic contribution of Northwest African genes among today's inhabitants near the city of Lucera.

For example, smoking could have caused epigenetic changes in a grandparent s DNA, effectively switching off certain anti cancer genes. The genes would then be passed down to descendants in this switched off state.

Four epigenetic leukemia drugs, which aim to switch the natural protective genes back on, are now on the market in the United States.

The blue Doberman has the color gene with at least one dominant allele and the dilution gene with both recessive alleles (i.e., BBdd or Bbdd).

Hence, a substantial fraction of autism cases may be traceable to genetic causes that are highly heritable but not inherited that is, the mutation that causes the autism is not present in the parental genome.

Radiation therapy injures or destroys cells in the area being treated (the target tissue ) by damaging their genetic material, making it impossible for these cells to continue to grow and divide.

For example, chemical pesticide or pollen from genetically engineered plants wafting from an adjacent field onto an organic crop does not affect the harvest s status.

Failure of adequate prenatal androgen effect is therefore thought to be involved in many cases, making severe hypospadias a very mild form of intersex (under virilization of a genetic male).

I'm an archeological geneticist at the Center for Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich, and I study the origins and evolution of human health and disease by conducting genetic research on the skeletal and mummified remains of ancient humans.

It's particularly astonishing because each one of these organisms, each subsystem, each cell type, each gene, has evolved in its own unique environmental niche with its own unique history.

According to an autosomal DNA genetic study conducted in 2008 by the University of Brasília (UNB), the composition of Venezuela's population is 60.60 of European contribution, 23 of indigenous contribution, and 16.30 of African contribution.

Injury to the optic nerve can be the result of congenital or inheritable problems like Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, glaucoma, trauma, toxicity, inflammation, ischemia, infection (very rarely), or compression from tumors or aneurysms.

This is in contrast to the biomedical model of medicine that suggests every disease process can be explained in terms of an underlying deviation from normal function such as a virus, gene or developmental abnormality, or injury.

The industry has been warned by a French research institute that the shrimp stock, originally imported from South America, needs fresh genetic input from a species to be imported from Hawaii, if breeding rates are to be maintained.28

Moreover, in her description of our evolution, Fisher notes that males who could tolerate long periods of silence (waiting for animals while in hunt mode) survived to pass on their genes, thus genetically selecting to prefer space.

Thus far, no leadership gene has been identified, and studies of identical and fraternal male twins find that only a third of their difference in occupying formal leadership roles can be explained by genetic factors.

Mubarak has been re elected four times, and rumors have persisted that he will either seek a fifth six year term or establish a hereditary republic and groom his 41 year old son, Gamal, to succeed him, like Syria's Hafez al Assad and son, Bashar.

I co founded a company called Navigenics, where, if you spit into a tube and we can look look at 35 or 40 genetic markers for disease, all of which are delayable in many of the cancers you start to identify what you could get, and then we can start to work to prevent them.
