Gilbert and his team of post-doctoral students, Sandro De Souza and Manyuan Long, have recently uncovered new evidence that draws a correlation between the structure of genes and the structure of proteins and supports Gilbert's original exon theory...
...evidence concerns a specific group of proteins," said De Souza, a post-doctoral student who has worked with Gilbert for the past two years. "It's an important study because these implications can help us better understand protein structure...
...De Souza explained that protein structure is essential to a gene's survival because when pieces of protein are thrown together, there is a slim chance these proteins will benefit the organism...
...When there is a correlation between the position of introns and protein structure, there is a better chance that the proteins will contain some advantagous characteristic," De Souza said. "Our research shows that such a correlation exists...
...amount of information available now is huge when compared to the information available before the Human Genome Project and other genome projects like it," De Souza said. "Because of projects like that, studies like our own can add to the body of information on genes...
