Biology Notes on Overlapping Genes | Genetics

The below mentioned article provides a note on overlapping genes. It is now becoming apparent that in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes a nucleotide sequence can code for more than one protein. The nucleotide sequence of a gene may be translated into a complete polypeptide chain. Then a part of the same sequence may also code for another protein of a [...]

Overlapping Gene | Genetics

The below mentioned article provides notes on overlapping gene. In 1940s, Beadle and Tatum proposed one-gene-one protein hypothesis which explains that one gene encodes for one protein. However, if one gene consists of 1,500 base pairs, a protein of 500 amino acids in length would be synthesized. In addition, if the same sequence read in two different ways, two different [...]
