The first gene causing lissencephaly, LIS1, was identified in patients with Miller-Dieker syndrome, a genetic syndrome caused by deletions of chromosome 17 that is a combination of lissencephaly and other facial deformities
The rare element irdium has been implicated in the extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period.
Exposure to certain environmental toxins or heavy metals, such as lead or mercury, has been implicated in causing neurological damage in humans. These substances can disrupt normal brain function, leading to a range of cognitive and behavioral issues. It is important to minimize exposure to these toxins to protect neurological health.
two loci on human chromosomes 1 and 14 respectively that are linked to migraine headaches. The locus on chromosome 1q23 has been linked to familial hemiplegic migraine type 2, while the locus on chromosome 14q21 is associated with migraine without aura
Tiger sharks are very aggessive, and have been implicated on many attacks on humans.
Smoking and alcohol intake have been implicated in cataract formation.
Bacteria, fungi, and viruses have all been implicated in causing ear infections called otitis externa. The most common cause of otitis externa is bacterial infection. The usual offenders include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter aerogenes.
Most, but not all human genes have been identified and named.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are gases that have been implicated in both global warming and depletion of the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, contributing to the thinning of the ozone layer. Additionally, CFCs act as potent greenhouse gases, trapping heat in the atmosphere and leading to global warming.
The implication of your actions is unimaginable.
Testosterone, cortisone, and vasopressin have all been implicated in aggression
In one approach, genes that produce specific HIV proteins have been altered to stimulate immune system functioning without causing the negative effects that a complete HIV molecule has on the immune system
Hox genes are a hallmark of multicellular life and are not found in bacteria. Hox genes are just one type of a larger family of gene called "homeobox genes" (watch out, they sound similar!). Bacteria have genes that resemble homeobox genes (Kant et al. 2002) but they're only distantly related to those in multicellular life (Derelle, 2007), and definitely don't have Hox genes. Both plants and animals have homeobox genes, including the subset called Hox genes. The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilateria but recently cnidaria have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.But no evidence of hox genes are found in bacteria
