Contents
A
Alignment
Arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify similarities
B
Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data.
As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data.
Biophysics
Biophysics or biological physics is an interdisciplinary science that applies the approaches and methods of physics to study biological systems.
Biophysics covers all scales of biological organization, from molecular to organismic and populations.
C
Chaperone
In molecular biology, molecular chaperones are proteins that assist the covalent folding or unfolrding and the assembly or disassembly of other macromolecular structures.
D
Differentiation
The process where a cell changes from one cell type to another(more specialized)
E
Encode
Change a information into a code.
Epigenetic
The study of stable heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. (Changes in phenotype by environment)
Epistasis
The phenomenon where the effect of one gene(locus) is dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes', the genetic background.
F
G
Gene Annotation
The process of identifying the locations of genes and all of the coding regions in a genome and determining what those genes do.
Gene expression
The process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as transfer RNA or small nuclear RNA genes, the products is a functional RNA.
Genetic marker
A gene or DNA sequence with a known location on a chromosome that can be used to identify individuals or species.
Genomic
Genomics aims at the collective characterization and quantification of genes, which direct the production of proteins with the assistance of enzymes and messenger molecules.
Genomics also involves the sequencing and analysis of genomes.
H
Histone
Histones are highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes.
Homology
The existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa.
I
Inflammation
J
K
L
Locus
A fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker(genetic marker)
M
Metagenome
Modifier genes
A gene that alters the phenotypic expression of another gene
Mutation
N
Neurodegenerative
O
Open flame
Orthology
P
Paralogy
Personalized medicine
Phylogenetic tree
Q
Query
R
Replicating fork
S
Sequence assembly
Sequencing
T
Topology
Taxa
U
V
Variation
W
