The cellular organelle in eukaryotes that contains most of the genetic material.
Industry:Biology
A mutation in which a large segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome. See also: mutation.
Industry:Biology
A class of DNA sequences that can move from one chromosomal site to another.
Industry:Biology
A phenotypic trait produced by two or more genes working together. See also: polygenic disorder.
Industry:Biology
A method of separating large molecules (such as DNA fragments or proteins) from a mixture of similar molecules. An electric current is passed through a medium containing the mixture, and each kind of molecule travels through the medium at a different rate, depending on its electrical charge and size. Agarose and acrylamide gels are the media commonly used for electrophoresis of proteins and nucleic acids.
Industry:Biology
Possessing three copies of a particular chromosome instead of the normal two copies. See also: cell, gene, gene expression, chromosome.
Industry:Biology
A molecule usually composed of 25 or fewer nucleotides; used as a DNA synthesis primer. See also: nucleotide.
Industry:Biology
A process using high-voltage current to make cell membranes permeable to allow the introduction of new DNA; commonly used in recombinant DNA technology. See also: transfection.
Industry:Biology
The science of managing and analyzing biological data using advanced computing techniques. Especially important in analyzing genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic research data.
