Oncogene has similar biochemical functions in ancestral metazoan and in humans
For the first time, they have identified the oncogene myc in a fresh water polyp and they have shown that this oncogene has similar biochemical functions in ancestral metazoan and in humans.
In a study to the genetic variance of human metabolism, researchers have identified thirty one regions of the genome that were associated with levels of circulating metabolites, ie, small molecules that take part in various chemical reactions of human body.
