The following information is about Gene.
Gene Defined
The definition of a gene changes as more properties are revealed. Two classes are generally recognized: (1) genes that are transcribed into mRNAs, which enter ribosomes and are translated into polypeptide chains, and (2) genes whose transcripts are used directly (tRNAs, rRNAs, snRNAs, etc.). Class I genes are also known as structural genes, and have been referred to as cistrons in earlier literature. There are also other shorter DNA segments that are not transcribed but instead serve as recognition sites for enzymes and other proteins that function during replication or transcription. These types of elements are generally referred to as regulatory sequences, and should not be confused with regulatory genes, which encode proteins that bind to regulatory sequences.
This definition is in context to Yeast Genome. See more contextual defintions for Gene.
Can genes predict athletic performance?
Published December 1, 2008, 3:57 pm, Scientific American
What if sideline rage could be nipped in the bud with a quick genetic test that told Mom and Dad what sports – if any – Junior could master? The Boulder, Colo., company Atlas Sports Genetics today began selling just that sort of product: for $149, it says it will screen for variants of the gene ACTN3, which in elite-level athletes is associated with the presence of the muscle protein ...

UC Riverside rice geneticist receives high honor from US Department of Agriculture
Published December 1, 2008, 11:09 am, EurekAlert!
( University of California - Riverside ) Julia Bailey-Serres, a professor of genetics at the University of California, Riverside, is the lead recipient of the 2008 USDA National Research Initiative Discovery Award. She has been the principle investigator on three USDA-funded projects that led to the identification and characterization of genes in rice that are responsible for flood tolerance. ...
Gene test on kids' sporting skills
Published December 1, 2008, 10:48 am, The Times of India
BOULDER, COLORADO: When Donna Campiglia learned recently that a genetic test might be able to determine which sports suit the talents of her 2 ½-year-old son, Noah, she instantly said, Where can I get it and how much does it cost?
Tool helps identify gene function in soybeans
Published December 1, 2008, 10:29 am, PhysOrg
In the race for bioengineered crops, sequencing the genome could be considered the first leg in a multi-leg relay. Once the sequence is complete, the baton is passed forward to researchers to identify genes' functions. A draft sequence of the soybean genome is now available, and the complete genome will be available soon. Taking the next step in a new study, University of Missouri ...
Tool helps identify gene function in soybeans
Published December 1, 2008, 10:09 am, EurekAlert!
( University of Missouri-Columbia ) University of Missouri Interdisciplinary Plant Group researchers have demonstrated the applicability of a genomic tool for identifying gene function in soybeans. Understanding gene function in soybeans will ultimately benefit crop performance.
