  2. Gene amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_amplification

    Common sources of gene duplications include ectopic recombination, retrotransposition event, aneuploidy, polyploidy, and replication slippage. [4] A piece of DNA or RNA that is the source and/or product of either natural or artificial amplification or replication events is called an amplicon. [5]

  3. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_(genetics)

    In genetics, a promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind to initiate transcription of a single RNA transcript from the DNA downstream of the promoter. The RNA transcript may encode a protein ( mRNA ), or can have a function in and of itself, such as tRNA or rRNA .

  4. Distal promoter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_promoter

    For example, an overactive distal promoter located about 1 kilobase away from the MUC5B gene contributes to atypical expression of this gene in gastric cancer cells. [4] Similarly, a few polymorphisms in the RUNX3 distal promoter alter the promoter's function, increasing the activity of the NF-κB transcription factor and the expression of the ...

  5. Promoter activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_activity

    Promoter activity of the P-RM and P-R promoters vs RNA polymerase concentration in the enterobacteriophage lambda [1]. Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3]

  6. Amplicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplicon

    In molecular biology, an amplicon is a piece of DNA or RNA that is the source and/or product of amplification or replication events. It can be formed artificially, using various methods including polymerase chain reactions (PCR) or ligase chain reactions (LCR), or naturally through gene duplication .

  7. Operon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operon

    A typical operon. In genetics, an operon is a functioning unit of DNA containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter. [1] The genes are transcribed together into an mRNA strand and either translated together in the cytoplasm, or undergo splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs that are translated separately, i.e. several strands of mRNA that each encode a single gene product.

    After being produced, the stability and distribution of the different transcripts is regulated (post-transcriptional regulation) by means of RNA binding protein (RBP) that control the various steps and rates controlling events such as alternative splicing, nuclear degradation (), processing, nuclear export (three alternative pathways), sequestration in P-bodies for storage or degradation and ...
