Phenotype Defined

In the Locus page, "phenotype" refers to the observable traits of strains that carry a mutation at that locus.

This definition is in context to Yeast Genome. See more contextual defintions for Phenotype.


Genetic Variants Giving Rise To Differences In Metabolism Identified

Published December 1, 2008, 6:23 am, BioresearchOnline

Common genetic polymorphisms induce major differentiations in the metabolic make-up of the human population, according to a new article. An international team of researchers, led by Karsten Suhre, has conducted a genome-wide association study with metabolomics, identifying genetic variants in genes involved in the breakdown of fats.

Common genetic polymorphisms induce major differentiations in the metabolic make-up of the human population, according to an article in PLoS Genetics. Scientists have conducted a genome-wide association study with metabolomics, identifying genetic variants in genes involved in the breakdown of fats. The resulting differences in metabolic capacity can affect individuals' susceptibility to complex ...

Protein-misfolding accelerates yeast evolution

Published November 30, 2008, 5:50 pm, News-Medical-Net

Under stress, yeast cells can unleash a remarkable mechanism based on protein-misfolding that gives them new characteristics without requiring genetic mutations.

Misfolded Proteins Accelerate Yeast Evolution

Published November 26, 2008, 8:26 am, Science Daily

In yeast, a protein-misfolding mechanism can reveal hidden genetic variations and thus generate new phenotypes that may increase cell survival. Researchers now have demonstrated that when yeast cells are stressed, this mechanism is triggered much more often. This heightened ability to adapt to changing environments may be maintained in yeast as a way to accelerate evolutionary changes.

  • 2007-06-26 Evolution: What is the significance of the genotype-pheno type map for evolutionary theory? 'The structure of this map influences what is possible in evolutionary terms over a given timespan,' ; explains Beaumont. He illustrates this with an example: 'The evolutionary explanation for the existence of white polar bears is based on variation in fur colour among brown bears. Natural selection selects lighter variants because these have an advantage (camouflage) during hunting. But how likely is this evolutionary development? The chance of white bears coming into existence as a result of spontaneous genetic changes depends on the distance between the brown genotype and the white genotype in the genotype space; the smaller the distance, the greater the likelihood of a white bear evolving. The structure of the genotype-pheno type map therefore dictates what is plausible during evolution over a finite time.'

  • "The DNA Age - Taking a Peek at the Experts' Genetic Secrets" (NYT): The NYT article on George Church's "PGP 10" -- his public genome-and-phe notype information database. Written by Amy Harmon, who (rightly) mentions the issue of privacy not just for oneself, but for one's relatives: parents, children, siblings, and even more-distantly -related relatives. Church requires every participant to have "the equivalent of a Master's in genetics," ; but why is this clear that this is enough?
