Genes are often considered the fundamental units of heredity and are typically encoded in DNA. A particular gene can have multiple different versions, or alleles, and a single gene may influence many different phenotypes. gene dosage The number of copies of a particular gene present in a genome.
If the gene in question is the wildtype a superscript '+' sign is used: leuA + If a gene is mutant, it is signified by a superscript '-': leuA −; By convention, if neither is used, it is considered to be mutant. There are additional superscripts and subscripts which provide more information about the mutation: ts = temperature sensitive (leuA ts)
Three translation tables have a peculiar status: Table 7 is now merged into translation table 4. Table 8 is merged to table 1; all plant chloroplast differences due to RNA edit.
3' untranslated region (3'-UTR). Also three-prime untranslated region, 3' non-translated region (3'-NTR), and trailer sequence.. 3'-end. Also three-prime end.. One of two ends of a single linear strand of DNA or RNA, specifically the end at which the chain of nucleotides terminates at the third carbon atom in the furanose ring of deoxyribose or ribose (i.e. the terminus at which the 3' carbon ...
The animations have a non-descript musical background and are purposely not narrated to maximize use. These animations may be played alone or simultaneously with the spoken definition of the term. All cellular organelles have animation sequences, as do many key terms such as gene, cell, ACGT, and chromosome. Spoken Explanations of Glossary Terms:
The Gene Ontology (GO) is a major bioinformatics initiative to unify the representation of gene and gene product attributes across all species. [1] More specifically, the project aims to: 1) maintain and develop its controlled vocabulary of gene and gene product attributes; 2) annotate genes and gene products, and assimilate and disseminate annotation data; and 3) provide tools for easy access ...
The Gene Ontology (GO) provides a system for hierarchically classifying genes or gene products into terms organized in a graph structure (or an ontology).The terms are groups into three categories: molecular function (describing the molecular activity of a gene), biological process (describing the larger cellular or physiological role carried out by the gene, coordinated with other genes), and ...
Identifying moths. Identification in biology is the process of assigning a pre-existing taxon name to an individual organism.Identification of organisms to individual scientific names (or codes) may be based on individualistic natural body features, [1] experimentally created individual markers (e.g., color dot patterns), or natural individualistic molecular markers (similar to those used in ...
