Full gene names, and especially gene abbreviations and symbols, are often not specific to a single gene. A marked example is CAP which can refer to any of 6 different genes (BRD4 Archived 2013-10-27 at the Wayback Machine, CAP1 Archived 2013-11-02 at the Wayback Machine, HACD1 Archived 2013-10-07 at the Wayback Machine, LNPEP Archived 2012-09-13 at the Wayback Machine, SERPINB6 Archived 2013 ...
Like the gene symbol, they are in all caps because human (human-specific or human homolog). mRNAs and cDNAs use the same formatting conventions as the gene symbol. [5] For naming families of genes, the HGNC recommends using a "root symbol" [15] as the root for the various gene symbols.
A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. [1] [2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs protein synthesis.
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.

Gene conversion is the process by which one DNA sequence replaces a homologous sequence such that the sequences become identical after the conversion. [1] Gene conversion can be either allelic, meaning that one allele of the same gene replaces another allele, or ectopic, meaning that one paralogous DNA sequence converts another.
An example Gene Ontology (GO) ancestor chart organized as a directed acyclic graph taken from QuickGO. [39] It shows the molecular functions, biological processes, and cellular components in which the matrilin complex , a component of the extracellular matrix , is involved.
