Benjamin Lewin is a molecular biologist who founded the journal Cell [1] and authored the textbook Genes. [2] He is credited with building Cell into a recognized journal of cellular biology in a short period of time to rival Nature and Science .
During this stage, the chromosomes attach themselves by their ends (telomeres) to the inner membrane of the nuclear envelope. At the transition to the zygotene stage, the telomeres usually aggregate at a sector of the nuclear envelope, thereby forming a "meiotic bouquet" arrangement.
Trygve Tollefsbol is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in the department of Biology. [1] Coining the term “epigenetics diet” in 2011, Tollefsbol has been a leader in the field of phytochemical-based epigenetic mechanisms to prevent cancer. [2]
For example, the human gene huntingtin (Htt) typically contains 6–29 tandem repeats of the nucleotides CAG (encoding a polyglutamine tract). An expansion to over 36 repeats results in Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disease. Twenty human disorders are known to result from similar tandem repeat expansions in various genes.
Genes of unknown function. Surprisingly, a significant number of essential genes has no known function. For instance, among the 385 essential candidates in M. genitalium, no function could be ascribed to 95 genes [6] even though this number had been reduced to 75 by 2011. [86]
