Writing genomic vocabulary in my definitions
- Bioinformatics: Study for biology by using lots of information.
- Genomics: Study for analyzing of DNA sequences
- DNA: carries the genetic information, is consisted by bases and has double helix forms
- RNA: has lost of forms to use DNA such as messenger, translation helper, and ribosome helper.
- Allele: it’s component of chromosome. Two alleles usually form chromosome.
- Alternative splicing: during transcription, exon is randomly chosen.
- Base: is component of DNA and RNA. usually adenosine Thymine cytosine guanine are base
- Sequencing: it’s order of things
- Codon: three bases that consist a single amino acid
- Copy number variant: 1000 base to 3M base pair are changed
- Minor allele frequency: the allele which has less
- Exome: exon sequencing
- CG content: part where cytosine and guanine are abundant.
- Inheritance: parent genic information goes to their offspring
- Whole exome sequencing: reading the parts of every exomes
- Phenotype: the expression that people can indicate
- Genotype: gene information
- Heterozygous: chromosome has different type of alleles
- Homozygous: chromosome has same type of alleles
- Hybridization: binding two objects
- Locus: parts decided portion of chromosome
- Methylation: methyl attaching
- Mutation: is not normal by change
- Missense Mutation: amino acid is changed by altering bases
- Silence Mutation: no change but there is change in base
- Oncogene: gene which is related to cancer
- Polymorphism: which has more than one characters
- Promotor: parts that transcription begun
- Polymerase Chain Reaction: reaction to replicate object
- Translocation: changing the location
