See also: gamete.
Industry:Biology
Sets of miniaturized chemical reaction areas that may also be used to test DNA fragments, antibodies, or proteins..
Industry:Biology
Trait that has a genetic component that does not follow strict Mendelian inheritance. May involve the interaction of two or more genes or gene-environment interactions.
See also: Mendelian inheritance, additive genetic effects.
Industry:Biology
Incorporating new genetic material into cells for therapeutic purposes. The new genetic material cannot be passed to offspring.
See also: gene therapy.
Industry:Biology
The study of genes and gene function in bacteria, archaea, and other microorganisms. Often used in research in the fields of bioremediation, alternative energy, and disease prevention.
