| clone | <cell biology> A propagating population of organisms, either single cell or multicellular, derived from a single progenitor cell. Such organisms should be genetically identical, though mutation events may abrogate this. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| clone bank | <molecular biology> A collection of DNA molecules, derived from restriction fragments that have been cloned in vectors, that includes all or part of the genetic material of an organism. (18 Nov 1997) |
| clone cells | A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence. (12 Dec 1998) |
| clones | <biology, cell culture> A group of cells derived from a single ancestor. (09 Oct 1997) |
| clones, recombinant | Clones containing recombinant DNA molecules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| recombinant clone | <molecular biology> Clones containing recombinant DNA molecules. See: recombinant DNA technologies. (14 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| cDNA clone | A duplex DNA, representing an mRNA, carried in a cloning vector. (05 Mar 2000) |
