  2. Chromosomal translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_translocation

    Chromosomal reciprocal translocation of the 4th and 20th chromosome. In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes. This includes balanced and unbalanced translocation, with two main types: reciprocal, and Robertsonian translocation.

  3. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology)

    First, convert each template DNA base to its RNA complement (note that the complement of A is now U), as shown below. Note that the template strand of the DNA is the one the RNA is polymerized against; the other DNA strand would be the same as the RNA, but with thymine instead of uracil. DNA -> RNA A -> U T -> A C -> G G -> C A=T-> A=U

  4. Robertsonian translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertsonian_translocation

    Robertsonian translocation (ROB) is a chromosomal abnormality where the entire long arms of two different chromosomes become fused to each other. It is the most common form of chromosomal translocation in humans, affecting 1 out of every 1,000 babies born. [ 1 ]

  5. Translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translocation

    Translocation may refer to: Chromosomal translocation, a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts Robertsonian translocation, a chromosomal rearrangement in pairs 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22; Nonreciprocal translocation, transfer of genes from one chromosome to another; PEP group translocation, a method used by bacteria for sugar uptake

  6. Chromosomal crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_crossover

    The first theory rests upon the idea that meiosis evolved as another method of DNA repair, and thus crossing-over is a novel way to replace possibly damaged sections of DNA. [9] The second theory comes from the idea that meiosis evolved from bacterial transformation , with the function of propagating diversity.

  7. Structural variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_variation

    Genomic structural variation is the variation in structure of an organism's chromosome, such as deletions, duplications, copy-number variants, insertions, inversions and translocations.

  8. Genetic transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_transformation

    Only single-stranded DNA may pass through, the other strand being degraded by nucleases in the process. The translocated single-stranded DNA may then be integrated into the bacterial chromosomes by a RecA-dependent process. In Gram-negative cells, due to the presence of an extra membrane, the DNA requires the presence of a channel formed by ...

  9. TET enzymes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TET_enzymes

    The TET enzymes are a family of ten-eleven translocation (TET) methylcytosine dioxygenases. They are instrumental in DNA demethylation.5-Methylcytosine (see first Figure) is a methylated form of the DNA base cytosine (C) that often regulates gene transcription and has several other functions in the genome.
