"the human genome contains approximately three billion chemical base pairs"nounthe ordering of genes in a haploid set of chromosomes of a particular organism; the full DNA sequence of an organismtype of:
Definition that contains genome
- genomics the branch of genetics that studies organisms in terms of their genomes (their full DNA sequences)
- proteomics the branch of genetics that studies the full set of proteins encoded by a genome
- snp (genetics) genetic variation in a DNA sequence that occurs when a single nucleotide in a genome is altered; SNPs are usually considered to be point mutations that have been evolutionarily successful enough to recur in a significant proportion of the population of a species
- insertional mutagenesis (genetics) a mutation caused by the insertion of exogenous DNA into a genome
- lysogenize become integrated into the genome of (a bacterium)
- craig ventner United States geneticist who published the complete base sequences for all the genes of a free-living organism, the influenza bacterium; later led team that developed a first draft of the entire human genome (born in 1946)
- provirus cDNA copy of the RNA genome of a retrovirus; the genetic material of a virus as incorporated into and able to replicate with the genome of a host cell
- transgene an exogenous gene introduced into the genome of another organism
- j. craig ventner United States geneticist who published the complete base sequences for all the genes of a free-living organism, the influenza bacterium; later led team that developed a first draft of the entire human genome (born in 1946)
- mouse-ear cress a small invasive self-pollinating weed with small white flowers; much studied by plant geneticists; the first higher plant whose complete genome sequence was described
