Active Site : The specific portion of an enzyme that attaches to the substrate by means of weak chemical bonds.

Bioinformation : 

BLAST : 

Central dogma : 

Domain : 

Evolution :  the sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms

Allele frequency(gene frequency) : the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a particular locus in a population, expressed as a fraction or percentage.

Gene Regulation : regulation of transcription; controlled by an operon which varies the accessibility of the RNA polymerase to genes being transcribed

Homolog : In biology, homology is the existence of shared ancestry between a pair of structures, or genes, in different taxa

Taxa : In biology, a taxon (plural taxa; back-formation from taxonomy) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.

Ortholog : Orthologs are genes in different species that evolved from a common ancestral gene by speciation. Normally, orthologs retain the same function in the course of evolution.

Paralog : Paralogs are genes related by duplication within a genome. Orthologs retain the same function in the course of evolution, whereas paralogs evolve new functions, even if these are related to the original one.
