Source text - English The dozen or so different globins inside you are descended from an ancient globin gene which, in a remote ancestor who lived about half a billion years ago, duplicated, after which both copies stayed in the genome. There were then two copies of it, in different parts of the genome of all descendant animals. One copy was destined to give rise to the alpha cluster (on what would eventually become Chromosome 11 in our genome), the other to the beta cluster (on Chromosome 16). As the aeons passed, there were further duplications (and doubtless some deletions as well). Around 400 million years ago the ancestral alpha gene duplicated again, but this time the two copies remained near neighbours of each other, in a cluster on the same chromosome. One of them was destined to become the zeta of our embryos, the other became the alpha globin genes of adult humans (other branches gave rise to the nonfunctional pseudogenes I mentioned). It was a similar story along the beta branch of the family, but with duplications at other moments in geological history.
Translation - Polish Około tuzina różnych globin Twojego ciała pochodzi od dawnego genu globiny, który u naszego odległego przodka, żyjącego około pół miliarda lat temu, uległ duplikacji, zaś obie jego kopie pozostały w genomie. W ten sposób w różnych częściach genomu wszystkich zwierząt wywodzących się od tego przodka znalazły się dwie kopie genu. Jedna z nich miała dać początek klasterowi alfa (w miejscu, które stało się następnie chromosomem 11 naszego genomu), zaś druga - klasterowi beta (leżącemu na chromosomie 16). Mijały eony i następowały dalsze duplikacje (i, bez wątpienia, także delecje). Około 400 milionów lat temu pierwotny gen alfa ponownie zduplikował, ale tym razem obie kopie pozostały bliskimi sąsiadami w klasterze na tym samym chromosomie. Jedna z nich stała się genem płodowej globiny zeta, druga - genami globin alfa dojrzałych ludzi (inne odgałęzienia dały początek niefunkcjonalnym pseudogenom, o których wspominałem). Podobna historia rozegrała się w gałęzi beta tej rodziny, ale duplikacje zachodziły w innych momentach czasu geologicznego.

Bio
I'm both a freelance translator and an active cell biologist with strong theoretical background and a huge practical experience (see: PubMed). I fight against the negligent and unreliable translations of medical and scientific tech-documents, instructions for use, manuals, release notes etc. I provide high quality professional translations, compliant with current state of art and relevant terminology, free of laboratory jargon and loanwords.
