Category 1
The production of a RNA molecule from a DNA sequence
What is Transcription?
The non-sexual movement of genetic information between genomes of different species
What is horizontal gene transfer?
All the mRNA’s in the cell
What is transcriptome?
Ginome wide association studies
What does JWAS stand for?
An organism has one genome sequencing that is the same in all cells, but different transcriptomes in different tissues, and environmental conditions
What does it mean to say that an organism has one genome but many transcriptomes?
The production of a polypeptide or a protein from an RNA sequence
What is translation?
Homologos regions of the genome, derived from a common ancestor
What is a homologos?
A fragment that spans an Exon/intron boundary
What is junctionreads?
The goal is to identify regions in the genome where sequence variation correlates with a particular phenotype.
What is the goal of GWAS analysis?
Exon can be splice together in different ways
How does alternative placing allow the same gene to produce different protein forms?
Triplet of nucleotides and genome that is translated into one amino acid
What is codon?
Related genes that have diverge to perform different functions in the same species (within a genome)
What is paralogs?
Amino acids are coded by more than one coding but every individual coding codes for only one amino acid.
What does it mean to say that the genetic code is degenerate yet unambiguous?
The comparison of genomic characteristics of different species
What is comparative Genomics?
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
What does CRISPR stand for?
Stretches of codon that are not interrupted by a stop codon
What is open reading frame?
Related genes that performed the same function in different species (different genomes)
What is orthologs?
This is when multiple codons code for the same amino acid and the difference between the codons is in the third nucleotide, which is the wobble position.
What is wobble in which position is it in a codon?
The study of RNA sequences and gene expression levels in different tissues, environmental conditions, and species
What is transcriptomics?
Country Dr. Ramstad is a citizen of
What is New Zeland?
A group of closely linked genes that usually are inherited together
What is haploty pe block?
Homologs found in many different species
What is conserved sequences?
Ka is the number of non-synonymous substitutions and Ks is the number of synonymous substitutions
What do Ka and Ks represent?
Transcriptomics sequences, RNA, not DNA, and reveals gene expression patterns, unlike genomic sequencing which sequences the genome and is the same in all cells
How does transcriptomics differ from dynamic sequencing?
Derived from natural bacterial immune system against viral infection
Where is CRISPR found naturally?
