The transcription factors and its implications in adaptive evolution

2019-01-04

Abstract excerpt

The random to explain the emergence of variations in sequence of the alleles is the current scientific paradigm of evolutionary biology. Here is argued that external stimuli responsible of manifestation of an instinct together with transcription factors (TFs) involved are the main cause of emergence of such variations. Advances in epigenomics show that this molecular function plays an important role in the regulat...
