Furthermore, perturbations in the binding properties of proteins encoded by regulatory genes have been linked with phenotypes effects such as, duplicated structures, homeotic transformations and novel morphologies.

Krumlauf studies a group of genes common to humans and other animals that are sometimes referred to as " master regulatory genes " because they control other genes.
43.
Discovery of a regulatory gene for leptin could lead to a better understanding of the hormone's complex mechanism and provide clues toward better treatments for obesity, Comuzzie said.
44.
Since both promoter regions overlap, when apoMerR is bound to MerO, the change in DNA conformation causes neither the structural genes nor the regulatory genes to be read.
45.
A separate locus contains a putative regulatory gene, crdR . A membrane-bound phosphatidylserine synthase, encoded by pssAG, is also necessary for maximal production of curdlan of high molecular mass.
46.
Regulatory genes play an important role in how the nervous and digestive systems, the limbs and skeleton of an organism are shaped as it grows from a single cell.
47.
While this concept was originally devised using morphological comparisons of developing embryos from different species, estimates of gene age, gene sequence conservation, the expression of regulatory genes and transcription factors,
48.
The surprise of evo-devo is that the shaping of bodies is controlled by a rather small percentage of genes, and that these regulatory genes are ancient, shared by all animals.
49.
But at the same time, the baboon's blood enters the pig's heart, and rejection would take place if it were not for the regulatory genes put in place to dampen it.
50.
For example, there has been progress on lines that increasingly suggest similarities between the networks of regulatory genes in the embryogenesis of the labrum and of segmental appendages of the trunk.
