Batch Reprimo: Priming the Synthesis of Unbreakable Bonds

By: Ivien Prinze Fetalino (Reprimo)

The Reprimo (RPRM) gene family is a group of single-exon genes that is unique to vertebrates. From the last common ancestor of vertebrates, Reprimo genes diverged and diversified after two rounds of whole genome duplications between 676 and 615 million years ago. In humans Reprimo is a potential tumorsuppressor gene that regulates the Cdc2-cyclin B1 complex activity and the p53-mediated cell cycle arrest at G2 In the advent of modern science and technology, the Reprimo gene family becomes a hotspot of genetic discoveries

Seven enthusiastic individuals come together to join the GeneSoc family that keeps getting bigger and brighter! Batch Reprimo is composed of five BS Biology studentsJanet, Mark, Ivien, Cisco, and Len; one BS Agriculture studentGeromn; and one BS Mathematics and Science
