This gene could be analyzed to determine its homology level with a human gene, which then could be restored in its normal expression. This strategy can restore the normal phenotype in defective human cells.

Sequence homology, which refers to the level of evolutionary relationship among genetic or proteins sequences, is a fundamental subject matter to determine gene function.

From this approach (sequence homology search), researchers can identify valuable genes involved in diseases in which the restoration of their normal expression levels can be used to restore the normal phenotype in defective cells.

In this case, the identification of a gene in cockroaches that is responsible for nerve regeneration could be used for subsequent identification of a human homologous gene sequence, which then can be restored in order to treat human paralysis.

You could also say that the neutron is the odd man out because the number of protons and electrons are the same because the negative charge from the electronics attracted to the positive charge from the proton.

On the next line you could say the election is the odd man out because the protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus and the electrons fly at high speeds in the electron cloud.
