  2. Deletion (genetics) - Wikipedia

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

    Deletion on a chromosome. In genetics, a deletion (also called gene deletion, deficiency, or deletion mutation) (sign: Δ) is a mutation (a genetic aberration) in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is left out during DNA replication.

  3. Indel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indel

    For example, a common microindel which results in a frameshift causes Bloom syndrome in the Jewish or Japanese population. [3] Indels can be contrasted with a point mutation . An indel inserts or deletes nucleotides from a sequence, while a point mutation is a form of substitution that replaces one of the nucleotides without changing the ...

  4. Structural variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_variation

    The presence of a SV is identified from discontinuous alignment to the reference genome. A gap in the read marks a deletion and in the reference marks an insertion. Read pair methods examine the length and orientation of paired-end reads from short read sequencing data. For example, read pairs further apart than expected indicate a deletion.

  5. Mutagenesis (molecular biology technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutagenesis_(molecular...

    Types of mutations that can be introduced by random, site-directed, combinatorial, or insertional mutagenesis. In molecular biology, mutagenesis is an important laboratory technique whereby DNA mutations are deliberately engineered to produce libraries of mutant genes, proteins, strains of bacteria, or other genetically modified organisms. The ...

  6. Codon degeneracy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codon_degeneracy

    A nucleotide substitution at a 4-fold degenerate site is always a synonymous mutation with no change on the amino acid. [2]: 521–522 A less degenerate site would produce a nonsynonymous mutation on some of the substitutions. An example (and the only) 3-fold degenerate site is the third position of an isoleucine codon.

  7. Conservative replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_replacement

    A conservative replacement (also called a conservative mutation or a conservative substitution or a homologous replacement) is an amino acid replacement in a protein that changes a given amino acid to a different amino acid with similar biochemical properties (e.g. charge, hydrophobicity and size). [1] [2]

  8. Deletion mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deletion_mapping

    In genetics and especially genetic engineering, deletion mapping is a technique used to find out the mutation sites within a gene. The principle of deletion mapping involves crossing a strain which has a point mutation in a gene, with multiple strains who each carry a deletion in a different region of the same gene.

  9. Synonymous substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synonymous_substitution

    Point substitution mutations of a codon, classified by their impact on protein sequence. A synonymous substitution (often called a silent substitution though they are not always silent) is the evolutionary substitution of one base for another in an exon of a gene coding for a protein, such that the produced amino acid sequence is not modified.
