Homework 1

Writing genomic vocabulary in my definitions

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