Definite any 30 words related to genomics with my own language(do not use the definition from the dictionary).

 

Biology

Sort of ology about bio terms and logical mechanisms happen in organism.

Genome

Genome is the word totally refering the entire genetic information.

primer

Short DNA fragment that can attach to certain spot on the complementary DNA so that is able to start synthesizing new DNA polymer. 

Genomics

Study for determining and analyzing the genome.

omics

Bio informatic way of studying the genome.

DNA

Strand of polymer of deoxyribose nucleotides tri phosphates.

RNA

Strand of polymer of ribose nucleotides tri phosphates.

enzyme

enzyme is an organic substance that is able to catalyze a number of bio-chemical reactions.

gene

Gene is the unit of informations specifying the function and traits of indivisual  that is stored on the DNA as the nucleic polymers. 

cDNA

It is the DNA which is made by reverse transcription from the RNA strand.

anneal

Operation to cool and temper with a clear purpose.

DNA Library

Assemble of a number of DNA fragments that fully includes the information of one single organism.

denature

Changing or breaking the conformation of chemicla bonds.

sequencing

It refers a series of processes determining the order of bioplymers. 

alignment

Ordering and arranging the bio informations.

cancer

It refers the state that tumors, which are growing without limits and function are spreaded and destroying the normal functional organs.

telomere

Telomere is the end of the strand of the DNA, which is getting shorten as the cell division keep on.

aging

It refers (mostly visual) biological change that are effected or happened by flow of time progressed in a degenerative way. 

polymer

polymer is chain linked with a number of mono units.

mutation

Unexpected change or error on the DNA causing the differentiation of expressing traits.

assembly

Things that are assorted.

evolution

Evlolution refers genetical differtiation of certain traits that survived ones have in level of generation.

amplify

Generating a number of the template(or target) in an efficient way.

vector

Vector is the carrier of DNA that can carry foreign DNA to others.

plasmid

Sort of round shape vector bacteria can contain. 

phage

Abbreviation of bacteriophage, which is simple organism consisted of protein shell and nucleic acids.

bacteria

buffer

Liquid solution to help to maintain pH concentration.

splicing

One of the step of transcription that is to make mRNA by eliminating introns.

PCR

PCR is thee bio experimental term that is an efficient way to amplify the exact genetic information on the template DNA.
