"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)
- arabidopsis thaliana 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
- 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)
- episome DNA that is not incorporated into the genome but is replicated together with the genome (especially in bacterial cells)
- insertional mutagenesis (genetics) a mutation caused by the insertion of exogenous DNA into a genome
- 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)
- lysogenisation the process by which a bacterium acquires a phage that becomes integrated into its genome
- lysogenization the process by which a bacterium acquires a phage that becomes integrated into its genome
- lysogenize become integrated into the genome of (a bacterium)
- 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
