背景情况:
- 怀孕期间母亲吸烟 (MSDP) 与后代的发育问题有关.
- 像AHRR和CYP1A1这样的基因的特定DNA甲基化 (DNAm) 变化与MSDP相关.
- 了解介导MSDP影响的生物途径至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 复制MSDP和DNAm之间的关联在中年童年-青春期使用兄弟姐妹不一致的设计.
- 检查DNAm在调解MSDP和注意力缺陷/多动障碍 (ADHD-HI) 症状之间关系中的作用.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
34.3K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics
7.6K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...
