- Company Profile:
All the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism; its size is generally given as its total number of base pairs..
Industry:Biology
Research and technology-development effort aimed at mapping and sequencing the genome of human beings and certain model organisms.
See also: Human Genome Initiative.
Industry:Biology
A collection of clones made from a set of randomly generated overlapping DNA fragments that represent the entire genome of an organism.
See also: library, arrayed library.
Industry:Biology
The genetic constitution of an organism, as distinguished from its physical appearance (its phenotype)..
Industry:Biology
Sperm and egg cells and their precursors. Germ cells are haploid and have only one set of chromosomes (23 in all), while all other cells have two copies (46 in all)..
Industry:Biology
The continuation of a set of genetic information from one generation to the next.
See also: inherit.
Industry:Biology
An experimental process of inserting genes into germ cells or fertilised eggs to cause a genetic change that can be passed on to offspring. May be used to alleviate effects associated with a genetic disease.
See also: genomics, somatic cell gene therapy.
Industry:Biology
A nitrogenous base, one member of the base pair GC (guanine and cytosine) in DNA.
See also: base pair, nucleotide.
Industry:Biology
Organisms that have both male and female cells and therefore express both male and female characteristics..
Industry:Biology
A single set of chromosomes (half the full set of genetic material) present in the egg and sperm cells of animals and in the egg and pollen cells of plants. Human beings have 23 chromosomes in their reproductive cells.
See also: diploid.
