| mapping, gene | Charting the positions of genes on chromosome and learning the distance, in linkage units or physical units, between genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| genetic mapping | Determination of the relative positions of genes on a DNA molecule (chromosome or plasmid) and of the distance, in linkage units or physical units, between them. (14 Nov 1997) |
| restriction mapping | Use of restriction endonucleases to analyze and generate a physical map of genomes or genes. The nucleotide sequence determined is often then translated into an amino acid sequence, providing a means for sequencing the protein for which the gene codes, or for which the mRNA is a messenger. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peptide mapping | Two-dimensional separation and analysis of peptides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromosome mapping | The mapping of the relative locations of genes on a chromosome by analysing linkage frequencies (how often different genes are inherited together) and crossover frequencies (how often different combinations of three or more genes are inherited) or recombination frequencies. (09 Oct 1997) |
| S1 nuclease mapping | A method for locating the 5' end of a transcript in a mixture of RNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heteroduplex mapping | <molecular biology> Heteroduplex mapping is a lab technique used to locate a particular sequence of nucleotides. It involves making a heteroduplex by pairing the unknown nucleic acid strand with a reference strand which has a known sequence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| nucleotide mapping | Two-dimensional separation and analysis of nucleotides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epitope mapping | Methods used for studying the interactions of antibodies with specific regions of protein antigens. Important applications of epitope mapping are found within the area of immunochemistry. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fine structure mapping | A technique of DNA mapping which makes use of extremely rare recombination events where the crossing over occurs between two genes or two alleles of a gene that are only a few nucleotides apart. (09 Oct 1997) |
| forms of DNA i, II and III | Refers to circular DNA removed from viruses and as plasmids. Form I is the DNA in its normal, supercoiled form. Form II is the DNA after one of the two strands has been nicked (cut apart), and is circular. Form III is the DNA after both strands have been broken, and is linear. (09 Oct 1997) |
| A-DNA | A form of DNA in which the helix is right-handed and the overall appearance is short and broad. (05 Mar 2000) |
| a-form DNA | <molecular biology> One of several forms that can be assumed by a double helix. A-DNA is stable in dehydrated conditions. This form is less common than the dominant form found under physiological conditions -- beta-DNA. This form is also assumed by DNA-RNA hybrid helices and by regions of double-stranded RNA. It is a right-handed helix and is a more compact form than beta-DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| antisense DNA | <molecular biology> A synthetic DNA strand that is complementary to a particular strand of target DNA with a complementary sequence of bases. This results in preventing expression of the gene encoded. These proteins can be used to selectively turn off production of certain proteins or block viral genetic instructions, by marking them for destruction by cellular enzymes, in order to prevent the building of new virus or the infection of new cells. (14 Nov 1997) |
| apurinic DNA | <molecular biology> A DNA molecule that has lost adenine and guanine, its purine bases. Apurinic DNA can be produced by treating the DNA with acid. (09 Oct 1997) |
