This glossary of genetics is a list of definitions of terms and concepts commonly used in the study of genetics and related disciplines in biology, including molecular biology, cell biology, and evolutionary biology. It is split across two articles:
This page, Glossary of genetics (0–L), lists terms beginning with numbers and those beginning with the letters A through L.
Glossary of genetics (M–Z) lists terms beginning with the letters M through Z.
The glossary is intended as introductory material for novices; for more specific and technical detail, see the article corresponding to each term. For related terms, see Glossary of cell biology, Glossary of evolutionary biology, and Glossary of chemistry.
This page is automatically generated and may contain information that is not correct, complete, up-to-date, or relevant to your search query. The same applies to every other page on this website. Please make sure to verify the information with EPFL's official sources.
In molecular biology, insertional mutagenesis is the creation of mutations in DNA by the addition of one or more base pairs. Such insertional mutations can occur naturally, mediated by viruses or transposons, or can be artificially created for research purposes in the lab. Signature-tagged mutagenesis This is a technique used to study the function of genes. A transposon such as the P element of Drosophila melanogaster is allowed to integrate at random locations in the genome of the organism being studied.
Gene knockdown is an experimental technique by which the expression of one or more of an organism's genes is reduced. The reduction can occur either through genetic modification or by treatment with a reagent such as a short DNA or RNA oligonucleotide that has a sequence complementary to either gene or an mRNA transcript. If a DNA of an organism is genetically modified, the resulting organism is called a "knockdown organism.
