| genoblast | The nucleus of the fertilised ovum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| genocopy | A genotype at one locus that produces a phenotype which at some levels of resolution is indistinguishable from that produced by another genotype; e.g., two types of elliptocytosis that are genocopy's of each other, but are distinguished by the fact that one is linked to the Rh blood group locus and the other is not. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genodermatology | Study of the hereditary aspects of cutaneous disorders. Origin: G. Genos, birth, descent, + derma, skin, + logos, theory (05 Mar 2000) |
| genodermatosis | A skin condition of genetic origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genolectotype | The type specimen or benchmark individual of a particular species and/or genus which is picked out after the species and/or genus has been officially described in the scientific literature. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genome | <genetics, molecular biology> The total set of genes carried by an individual or cell. (18 Nov 1997) |
| genome project | <molecular biology> Research and technology development effortsaimed at mapping and sequencing some or all of the genome of human beings and otherorganisms. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genome projects | Research and technology development efforts aimed at mapping and sequencing some or all of the genome of human beings and other organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genome, bacterial | The complete gene complement contained in a single chromosome in a bacterium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, chromosomal | All of the genetic information in the chromosomes of an organism. For humans, that is all of the DNA contained in our normal complement of 46 rod-like chromosomes in virtually every cell in the body. (Mature red blood cells, for one exception, have no nucleus and therefore no chromosomes). The chromosomal genome is synonymous with the nuclear genome. Together with the mitochondrial genome, it constitutes the genome of the human being. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, fungal | The complete gene complement contained in a set of chromosomes in a fungus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, human | All of the genetic information, the entire genetic complement, all of the DNA in a person. Humanity's DNA is the treasury of human inheritance. It is this extraordinary repository of genetic information which the Human Genome Project in the United States and comparable programs in other countries around the world that belong to HUGO (the HUman Genome Organisation) are designed to fully fathom. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, mitochondrial | The genetic information contained in the circular chromosome of the mitochondrion, a structure located outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm of the cell. The mitochondrial genome and the chromosomal (nuclear) genome together constitute the entire genome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, plant | The complete gene complement contained in a set of chromosomes in a plant. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genome, protozoan | The complete gene complement contained in a set of chromosomes in a protozoan. (12 Dec 1998) |
