functional gene
The complete sequence of this transcript remains to be established and, thus, it is not known whether it represents a functional gene.
gene flow
Influence of gene flow and breeding tactics on gene diversity with populations.
gene transfer
Either the purple bacteria have acquired the photosynthesis genes recently by lateral gene transfer or selective pressure forced various species to retain these organizational patterns.
horizontal gene transfer
Given this uncertainty, assessment of the potential harm that could result if horizontal gene transfer were to occur for a specific transgene would be particularly important.
imprinted gene
This novel imprinted gene is expressed exclusively or predominantly from the paternal allele in all tissues examined.
known gene
Recent developments in breeding theory aim to reduce this loss in polygenic response when selecting for a known gene of detectable effect.
lateral gene transfer
Either the purple bacteria have acquired the photosynthesis genes recently by lateral gene transfer or selective pressure forced various species to retain these organizational patterns.
mutant gene
The mutant gene had a slightly but significantly, greater effect in the selection line.
mutated gene
Second, the frequency of the mutation changes rapidly because a mutated gene is eliminated as soon as it is passed onto a son.
novel gene
Molecular analysis of the integration site revealed that the vector had integrated into an exon of a novel gene.
opsin gene
One significant difference between the transgene and the endogenous opsin gene is the implicit onset of opsin expression.
protein-coding gene
These data are summarized, before focusing in more detail on polymorphisms within protein-coding genes of potential relevance to the host-parasite relationship, such as vaccine candidates.
recessive gene
The likelihood of both parents carrying the same recessive gene is increased if they are cousins or other blood relatives.
regulation of gene expression
Issues of efficacy, safety and regulation of gene expression are currently under debate world-wide.
selfish gene
They consider this to be a major paradox, because according to selfish gene theories, liars should possess genetic advantages over truth-tellers.
single gene
Recent investigations have shown that a growing number of congenital heart malformations is due to single gene defects.
specific gene
The difficulty will now be to identify the specific gene(s) within these intervals and to elucidate how they modify disease pathology.
target gene
It was hypothesized that the short distances spanned by linkage disequilibrium enable markers that are very tightly linked to a target gene to be identified.
transporter gene
Efficacy of paroxetine in depression is influenced by a functional polymorphism within the promoter of the serotonin transporter gene.
tumor suppressor gene
Pathogenesis of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in mice lacking the arf tumor suppressor gene.
