  2. Biological tests of necessity and sufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_tests_of...

    Biological tests of necessity and sufficiency refer to experimental methods and techniques that seek to test or provide evidence for specific kinds of causal relationships in biological systems. A necessary cause is one without which it would be impossible for an effect to occur, while a sufficient cause is one whose presence guarantees the ...

  3. Genetic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_analysis

    Genetic analysis can be used generally to describe methods both used in and resulting from the sciences of genetics and molecular biology, or to applications resulting from this research. Genetic analysis may be done to identify genetic/inherited disorders and also to make a differential diagnosis in certain somatic diseases such as cancer .

  4. GENSCAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GENSCAN

    Tests were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of GENSCAN with short data sets. One test was done on the Burset/Guigó dataset containing 570 vertebrate multi-exon gene sequences. The data produced from this test is shown in the table below, along with the data produced by testing other programs with the same dataset.

  5. Genetic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_testing

    Genetic testing is often done as part of a genetic consultation and as of mid-2008 there were more than 1,200 clinically applicable genetic tests available. [23] Once a person decides to proceed with genetic testing, a medical geneticist, genetic counselor, primary care doctor, or specialist can order the test after obtaining informed consent .

  6. Gene prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_prediction

    Ab Initio gene prediction is an intrinsic method based on gene content and signal detection. Because of the inherent expense and difficulty in obtaining extrinsic evidence for many genes, it is also necessary to resort to ab initio gene finding, in which the genomic DNA sequence alone is systematically searched for certain tell-tale signs of protein-coding genes.

  7. Disease gene identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease_gene_identification

    Disease gene identification is a process by which scientists identify the mutant genotypes responsible for an inherited genetic disorder. Mutations in these genes can include single nucleotide substitutions, single nucleotide additions/deletions, deletion of the entire gene, and other genetic abnormalities.

  8. Genetic marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_marker

    A genetic marker is a gene or DNA sequence with a known location on a chromosome that can be used to identify individuals or species. It can be described as a variation (which may arise due to mutation or alteration in the genomic loci) that can be observed.

  9. Molecular genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_genetics

    Molecular genetics is a branch of biology that addresses how differences in the structures or expression of DNA molecules manifests as variation among organisms. Molecular genetics often applies an "investigative approach" to determine the structure and/or function of genes in an organism's genome using genetic screens. [1] [2]
