One of the two sex chromosomes of humans. Females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome carries a male-sex-determining gene that initiates development ...
Linkage map
Biology; Genetics
A map of the relative positions of genes (or other DNA sequences) on a chromosome, determined on the basis of how frequently the genes are inherited together. The closer two genes are, the less ...
Messenger RNA
Biology; Genetics
A molecule of RNA whose sequence is complementary to the coding sequence of a gene. Messenger RNA is translated into protein.
Meta-analysis
Biology; Genetics
Statistical technique in which the results from two or more studies are systematically combined into a single quantitative result, in order to give more weight to the conclusions.
Metabolome
Biology; Genetics
The collection of all metabolites resulting from specific cellular processes in a biological organism, which are the end products of its gene expression.
Methylation (DNA)
Biology; Genetics
Chemical modification of DNA by the addition of a methyl (-CH3) group to the cytosine (C) nucleotide, which can be inherited without changing the DNA sequence. Used as a epigenetic mechanism for gene ...
