Company Profile:
A technique used in model organism studies in which embryos at the 8-cell stage of development are pushed together to yield a single embryo (used as an alternative to microinjection). See also: model organisms.
Industry:Biology
A way of denoting the collective genotype of a number of closely linked loci on a chromosome..
Industry:Biology
A map of the locations of identifiable landmarks on DNA (e.g., restriction-enzyme cutting sites, genes), regardless of inheritance. Distance is measured in base pairs. For the human genome, the lowest-resolution physical map is the banding patterns on the 24 different chromosomes; the highest-resolution map is the complete nucleotide sequence of the chromosomes..
Industry:Biology
Variation in alleles among members of the same species..
Industry:Biology
Autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal circular DNA molecules, distinct from the normal bacterial genome and nonessential for cell survival under nonselective conditions. Some plasmids are capable of integrating into the host genome. A number of artificially constructed plasmids are used as cloning vectors..
Industry:Biology
Different ways of combining a gene's exons to make variants of the complete protein.
Industry:Biology
Any of a class of 20 molecules that are combined to form proteins in living things. The sequence of amino acids in a protein and hence protein function are determined by the genetic code..
Industry:Biology
See: heterozygosity.
Industry:Biology
An increase in the number of copies of a specific DNA fragment; can be in vivo or in vitro. See also: cloning, polymerase chain reaction.
Industry:Biology
Genetic disorder resulting from the combined action of alleles of more than one gene (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers). Although such disorders are inherited, they depend on the simultaneous presence of several alleles; thus the hereditary patterns usually are more complex than those of single-gene disorders. See also: single-gene disorder.
