  2. Cis-regulatory element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis-regulatory_element

    Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) or cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) are regions of non-coding DNA which regulate the transcription of neighboring genes.CREs are vital components of genetic regulatory networks, which in turn control morphogenesis, the development of anatomy, and other aspects of embryonic development, studied in evolutionary developmental biology.

  3. Transgene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgene

    Then, homologous recombination occurs naturally within some cells, replacing the gene of interest with the designed transgene. Through this process, researchers were able to demonstrate that a transgene can be integrated into the genome of an animal, serve a specific function within the cell, and be passed down to future generations. [24]

  4. Human reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_reproduction

    Successful reproduction typically involves sexual intercourse between a healthy, sexually mature and fertile male and female. [1] Because of ejaculation during intercourse, the male reproductive system deposits semen containing sperm into the female reproductive system, which can result in the fertilization of an ovum, to form a zygote. [1]

  5. Transposon mutagenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposon_Mutagenesis

    Transposase enzyme can be expressed in cis or in trans to the gene cassette. The mechanism of the SBTS is similar to the Tn5 transposon system, however the enzyme and gene sequences are eukaryotic in nature as opposed to prokaryotic. The system's tranposase can act in trans as well as in cis, allowing a diverse collection of transposon structures.

  6. Cisterna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisterna

    As well as the location of the cis and trans Golgi network. The cis Golgi network is the first step in the cisternal structure of a protein being packaged, while the trans Golgi network is the last step in the cisternal structure when the vesicle is being transferred to either the lysosome, the cell surface or the secretory vesicle.

  7. Trans-acting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-acting

    It may be considered the opposite of cis-acting (cis-regulatory, cis-regulation), which, in general, means "acting from the same molecule" (i.e., intramolecular). In the context of transcription regulation, a trans-acting factor is usually a regulatory protein that binds to DNA. [1]

  8. Trans-splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-splicing

    Trans-splicing is a special form of RNA processing where exons from two different primary RNA transcripts are joined end to end and ligated.It is usually found in eukaryotes and mediated by the spliceosome, although some bacteria and archaea also have "half-genes" for tRNAs.

  9. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    These differences can be very small, as in the case of the boiling point of straight-chain alkenes, such as pent-2-ene, which is 37 °C in the cis isomer and 36 °C in the trans isomer. [5] The differences between cis and trans isomers can be larger if polar bonds are present, as in the 1,2-dichloroethenes.
