  2. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    Epigenetic markers strengthen and weaken transcription of certain genes but do not affect the actual sequence of DNA nucleotides. DNA methylation is a major form of epigenetic control over gene expression and one of the most highly studied topics in epigenetics. During development, the human DNA methylation profile experiences dramatic changes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

    In 1959, Max Perutz determined the molecular structure of hemoglobin. [26] [27] For this work he shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with John Kendrew, who sequenced the globular protein myoglobin. [25] [28] The role of hemoglobin in the blood was elucidated by French physiologist Claude Bernard.

  4. Microsatellite instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsatellite_instability

    Microsatellite instability structure consists of repeated nucleotides, most often seen as GT/CA repeats. [2] Researchers have yet to confirm the precise definition of the MSI structure. While all researchers agree that microsatellites are repeat sequences, the lengths of the sequences remain in question.

    Haplogroup E-M2, also known as E1b1a1-M2, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup.E-M2 is primarily distributed within Africa followed by West Asia. More specifically, E-M2 is the predominant subclade in West Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, and the region of the African Great Lakes; it also occurs at moderate frequencies in North Africa, and the Middle East.

    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 ...
