| MGG | May-Grunwald-Giemsa [staining]; molecular and general genetics; mouse gammaglobulin; multinucleated ... |
|---|
| SRO | Smallest regions of overlap |
|---|---|
| AgNORs | staining of nucleolar organiser regions |
| regions of upper limb | The topographic divisions of the upper limb: deltoid, arm, elbow, forearm, carpal region, and hand. Synonym: regiones membri superioris, regions of superior limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| regulatory regions or sequences | A DNA base sequence that controls gene expression. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complementarity determining regions | That part of an antibody or T-cell receptor variable region that binds with antigen or antigen/major histocompatibility molecule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| promoter regions | <genetics> DNA sequences which are recognised (directly or indirectly) and bound by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription. Highly conserved sequences within the promoter include the pribnow box in bacteria and the tata box in eukaryotes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scaffold-associated regions | Sites in DNA that bind topoisomerase II and other scaffold proteins; found in introns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypervariable regions | The regions of the immunoglobulin molecule that contain most of the residues involved in the antibody binding site. (05 Mar 2000) |
| behavioural genetics | The study of heritable factors in behavioural patterns, as by pedigree analysis, biochemical abnormality, or karyotypic analysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biochemical genetics | The study of genetics in terms of the chemical (biochemical) events involved, as in the manner in which DNA molecules replicate and control the synthesis of specific enzymes by the genetic code. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biometrical genetics | <study> The mathematical approach to the study of the inheritance of different phenotypes, or physical characteristics, as a result of plant or animal breeding. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Galtonian-Fisher 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) |
| galtonian genetics | The study of traits by analysis of the first two moments of metrical data; the preferred method for analysis of traits following the multivariate gaussian distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palindrome in genetics | A palindrome is a word that reads the same in both directions as, for example, the names eve or anna. In genetics, a palindrome is a DNA or RNA sequence that reads the same in both directions. The sites of many restriction enzymes that cut (restrict) DNA are palindromes. Palindromic rheumatism is a form of joint inflammation whereby the joints involved appears to change periodically from one region of the body to another and back again. (12 Dec 1998) |
| variation (genetics) | The phenotypic differences among individuals in a population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetics | <study> The study of the patterns of inheritance of specific traits. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genetics, behavioural | The experimental study of the relationship between the genotype of an organism and its behaviour. The scope includes the effects of genes on simple sensory processes to complex organization of the nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |
