| overlapping | <cell biology> In cell locomotion situation in which the leading lamella of one cell moves actively over the dorsal surface of another cell should be distinguished from underlapping. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| overlapping gene | <molecular biology> Different genes whose nucleotide coding sequences overlap to some extent. The common nucleotide sequence is read in two or three different reading frames thus specifying different polypeptides. (18 Nov 1997) |
| overlapping reading frame | <molecular biology> Start codons in different reading frames which generate different polypeptides from the same DNA sequence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genes, overlapping | Genes whose nucleotide sequences overlap to some degree. The overlapped sequences may involve structural or regulatory genes of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
