Evo-devo, deep homology and FoxP2: implications for the evolution of speech and language.
The evolution of novel morphological features, such as feathers, involves the modification of developmental processes regulated by gene networks. The fact that genetic novelty operates within developmental constraints is the central tenet of the 'evo-devo' conceptual framework. It is supported by findings that certain molecular regulatory pathways act in a similar manner in the development of m...
متن کاملHomology is dead! Long live homology! A review of Deep Homology?
Deep Homology?: Uncanny Similarities of Humans and Flies Uncovered by Evo-Devo is Lewis Held's final act in a threepart series discussing developmental evolution. Part one of the series−Quirks of Human Anatomy: An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body — journeyed through the oddities of our own human form. Part two—How the Snake Lost its Legs— ventured away from the idiosyncrasies of our own anatomy ...
متن کاملFoxp2
The forkhead box P2 gene, designated FOXP2, is the first gene implicated in a speech and language disorder. Since its discovery, many studies have been carried out in an attempt to explain the mechanism by which it influences these characteristically human traits. This review presents the story of the discovery of the FOXP2 gene, including early studies of the phenotypic implications of a disru...
متن کاملIn silico Homology Modeling and Epitope Prediction of NadA as a Potential Vaccine Candidate in Neisseria meningitidis
Neisseria meningitidis is a facultative pathogen bacterium which is well founded with a number of adhesion molecules to facilitate its colonization in human nasopharynx track. Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of mortality from sever meningococcal disease and septicemia. The Neisseria meningitidis adhesion, NadA, is a trimeric autotransporter adhesion molecule which is involved in cell ad...
متن کاملis there any parameter helpful for predicting a suitable candidate for mite immunotherapy?
few biomarkers that can predict the clinical response to allergen immunotherapy (ait) have been identified. the aim of the present study was to investigate parameters that could be used “in predicting the clinical response to ait” in children with asthma caused by house dust mites. we evaluated 107 children with mild persistent asthma who were sensitised only to mite aeroallergens. the study gr...
