GRADUAL INTEGRATION. "The integration of new genes into GGI networks is a gradual evolutionary process. The new genes started, at a young age, to be integrated into networks to form new and less connected branches; however, with the elapse of evolutionary time, as genes grow older, they acquired more interacting links." (GGI = Gene-gene interaction networks)." https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-015-0772-4 View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC PROCESS. "While gene family evolution is pervasive, it may be especially important in our own evolution since it appears that the "revolving door" of gene duplication and loss has undergone multiple accelerations in the lineage leading to humans." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19153999 View in LinkedIn

MULTILEVEL CONTEXTUAL CONTROL. "Every gene with a phenotypic impact is flanked by regulatory sequences that, in conjunction with the expression and activity of proteins encoded elsewhere, regulate when expression occurs, at what level, under what environmental conditions, and in which cells or tissues." https://lnkd.in/dTi6Znf View in LinkedIn

NON-CODING TRANSCRIPTION. "Emerging evidence suggests that genomes transcribe a much larger repertoire of non-coding compared to protein-coding RNAs, a phenomenon that is more elaborate in complex organisms. Additionally, the number and types of known functional non-coding RNAs, short or long in size, has been significantly expanded, as these may be involved in cis or trans regulation of genes located in their vicinity or at distant loci." https://lnkd.in/ef6MAfH View in LinkedIn
