| mathematical genetics | The study of genetic traits by formal analysis, e.g., quantitative genetics, population dynamics, genetic epidemiology, modeling. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| medical genetics | The study of the aetiology, pathogenesis, and natural history of human diseases which are at least partially genetic in origin. Compare: clinical genetics, human genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mendelian genetics | The study of the pattern of segregation of phenotypes under the control of genetic loci taken one at a time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reverse genetics | The technique of determining a gene's function by first sequencing it, then mutating it and then trying to identify the nature of the change in the phenotype. (18 Nov 1997) |
| microbial genetics | The study of hereditary mechanisms of microbes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| classical genetics | That body of method and analysis that perceives genetics as the study of the transmission of genotype from parent to offspring; the study of multiple individuals is essential to it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clinical genetics | Genetics applied to the diagnosis, prognosis, management, and prevention of genetic diseases. Compare: medical genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| modern genetics | That body of method and analysis that perceives genetics as the study of the economy of nucleic acids and associated compounds. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular genetics | <study> The study of the flow and regulation of genetic information between DNA, RNA, and protein molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |
| p in population genetics | The frequency of the more common of two different alternative (allelic) versions of a gene. (the frequency of less common allele is q). (12 Dec 1998) |
| multilocal genetics | The genetics of measurable traits determined by multiple loci which make contributions that are independent, additive, and approximately equal. Synonym: multilocal genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| population genetics | <epidemiology, genetics> The study of genetic influences on the components of cause and effect in the somatic characteristics of populations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selection (genetics) | Differential and non-random reproduction of different genotypes, operating to alter the gene frequencies within a population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| human genetics | The study of the genetic aspects of humans as a species. Compare: medical genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sex determination (genetics) | Process in a given organism, by which the sex genotype is fixed. In humans, sex is established at the time of fertilization by the presence or absence of the y chromosome. (12 Dec 1998) |
