|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An international collaborative effort to process andintergrate biological information from large data sets |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A genetic map based on the frequencies of recombination between markers during crossing over of homologous chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Genetic map in which the actual physical distance between genes or other genetic markers are expressed, usually as a number of nase pairs along the DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The collection and sequencing of DNA from a group of species, usually an environmental sample of microorganisms
Somputer software sorts partial sequences and assembles them into genome swquences to identify protein-coding genes and determine the function of products |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Analysis of genomic sequences to identify protein-coding genes and determine the function of their products |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Systematic study of the full protein sets coded by genomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A DNA segment very similar to a real gene but which does not yield a funcional product
A DNA segment that formerly funcioned as a gene but has become inactivated in a particular species because of mutation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Nucleotie sequences, usually noncoding, that are present in many copies in a eukaryotic genome
Repeated nits may ne short and arranged tandemly or long and dispersed in the genome |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A segment of DNA that can move within the genome of a cell by means of a DNA or RNA intermediate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A transposoble eleent that moves within a genome by means of a DNA intermediate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A transposable element that moves within a genome by means of an RNA intermediate transcript of the retrotransponson DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A DNA sequence that contains many copies of tandemly repeated short sequences |
|
|
Term
| Short Tandem Repeats (STR) |
|
Definition
Simple sequence of DNA containing multiple tandemly repeated units of two to five nucleotides
Variations in STRs act as genetic markers in STR analysis
Used to prepare genetic profiles |

|
Term
|
Definition
| A collection of genes with similar or identical sequences, presumably of common origin |

Definition
Evolutionary developmental biology
Field of biology that compares developmental processes of different multicellular organisms to understand how thes processes have evolved and how changes can modify existing organismal features or lead to new ones |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A 180-nucleotide sequence within homeotic genes and some other developmental genes that is widely conserved in animals |
