  2. Microsatellite instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsatellite_instability

    Some research suggests that MSIs are short tandem DNA repeat sequences of one to six base pairs throughout the genome, while other research suggests that the range may be two to five. [ 3 ] Although researchers do not agree on a specific threshold for the number of tandem repeats that constitute a microsatellite, there is a consensus around ...

  3. Other species such as harvestmen and crane flies are also called daddy longlegs, and share the misconception of being highly venomous but unable to pierce the skin of humans. [91] [92] People do not swallow large numbers of spiders during sleep. A sleeping person makes noises that warn spiders of danger.

    Haplogroup J-M267, also commonly known as Haplogroup J1, is a subclade (branch) of Y-DNA haplogroup J-P209 (commonly known as haplogroup J) along with its sibling clade haplogroup J-M172 (commonly known as haplogroup J2). (All these haplogroups have had other historical names listed below.

    Some types of non-coding DNA are genetic "switches" that do not encode proteins, but do regulate when and where genes are expressed (called enhancers). [30] Regulatory sequences have been known since the late 1960s. [31] The first identification of regulatory sequences in the human genome relied on recombinant DNA technology. [32]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_Q-M242

    Haplogroup Q or Q-M242 is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It has one primary subclade, Haplogroup Q1 (L232/S432), which includes numerous subclades that have been sampled and identified in males among modern populations. Q-M242 is the predominant Y-DNA haplogroup among Native Americans, Swati tribe and several peoples of Central Asia and ...

    Historically, HPV DNA has been detected in the blood of cervical cancer patients. [102] In 2005, a group reported that, in frozen blood samples of 57 sexually naive pediatric patients who had vertical or transfusion-acquired HIV infection, 8 (14.0%) of these samples also tested positive for HPV-16. [ 103 ]

    Chromosome 1 spans about 249 million nucleotide base pairs, which are the basic units of information for DNA. [4] It represents about 8% of the total DNA in human cells. [5] It was the last completed chromosome, sequenced two decades after the beginning of the Human Genome Project.

    Y-DNA belonging to haplogroup O-JST002611 has been observed in 10.6% (61/573) of a sample collected in Seoul and 8.3% (11/133) of a sample collected in Daejeon, South Korea. [ 50 ] [ 59 ] According to 23魔方, haplogroup O-IMS-JST002611 currently accounts for approximately 14.72% of the entire male population of China , and its TMRCA is ...
