| oocyte expression | <molecular biology> Technique whereby the cellular machinery of an oocyte (typically that of Xenopus) is utilised to transcribe functional protein from microinjected RNA. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| expression | <molecular biology> The process by which a gene's coded information is converted into the structures present and operating in the cell. Expressed genes include those that are transcribed into mRNA and then translated into protein and those that are transcribed into RNA but not translated into protein (for example, transfer and ribosomal RNAs). (06 Aug 1998) |
| expression cloning | <molecular biology> A vector that results in the expression of inserted DNA sequences when propagated in a suitable host cell, i.e. The protein coded for by the DNA is synthesised by the host's system. (06 Aug 1998) |
| expression library | <molecular biology> A library of DNA fragments which was created with an expression vector so that any genes present in the library are expressed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| expression-linked copy | <molecular biology> One of many different versions of the variable surface glycoprotein gene of the trypanosome (a parasitic protozoan which causes the disease African sleeping sickness), refers to whichever one of them is currently being expressed on the outer surface of the trypanosome. (09 Oct 1997) |
| expression site | The location in the genome of the gene for the variable surface glycoprotein that is currently being expressed (an expression-linked copy) by the trypanosome (a parasitic protozoan which causes the disease African sleeping sickness). most of these sites are near the ends, or telomeres, of a chromosome. (09 Oct 1997) |
| expression system | <molecular biology> Combination of an expression vector, its cloned DNA, and the host for the vector that provide a context to allow foreign gene function in a host cell, that is, produce proteins at a high level. (13 Nov 1997) |
| expression vector | <molecular biology> A cloning vector that contains the necessary regulatory sequences to allow transcription and translation of a cloned gene or genes and thus transcribe and clone DNA. (13 Nov 1997) |
| facial expression | Observable changes of expression in the face in response to emotional stimuli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute brain syndrome | <syndrome> A condition of severe confusion or rapid change in brain function. This often occurs as the result of a mental illness or physical illness. Symptoms include lethargy, agitation, confusion, disorientation and delirium. (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute organic brain syndrome | <syndrome> A constellation of behavioural or psychological signs and symptoms including problems with attention, concentration, memory, confusion, anxiety, and depression caused by transient or permanent dysfunction of the brain. Synonym: acute organic brain syndrome, OBS, organic mental syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior part of anterior commissure of brain | The anterior part of the anterior or rostral commissure of the brain. Synonym: pars anterior commissurae rostralis, pars anterior commissurae anterioris cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arachnoid of brain | That portion of the arachnoid which lies within the cranial cavity and surrounds the brain and the cranial portion of the subarachnoid space. In several sites it is relatively widely-separated from the pia mater, creating the cranial subarachnoid cisterns. Synonym: arachnoid mater cranialis, arachnoid mater encephali, cerebral part of arachnoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| base of brain | The inferior surface of the brain visible when seen from below. Synonym: facies inferior cerebri, basis cerebri, inferior cerebral surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| big brain | <molecular biology> Neurogenic gene of Drosophila, believed to encode a product involved in cell cell communication, perhaps via gap junctions. Member of the major intrinsic protein family. (18 Nov 1997) |
