A seq experiment that identifies regions of open DNA is ATAC seq, which uses this molecular tool

transposon

100

Histone modification proteins that usually loosen the association of histones with the attached DNA

HATs

100

These regions of DNA contain a combination of gene controlling sequences, and can interact with multiple gene regions

LCRs

200

DNA can pass between different species by this process

Lateral or horizontal gene transfer

200

The fact that gene number doesn't always correlate with organism complexity is known as the

C-value paradox

200

To determine all of the direct DNA targets of a transcription factor, you would use this technology

ChIP seq

200

DNA methylation writers

DNMTs

200

This DNA element protects a gene region from outside influence of other DNA elements or chromatin structures

Insulator

300

The theory that mitochondria and chloroplasts were originally prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by other cells.

Endosymbiont

300

In evaluating a bioinformatics algorithm, the correct number returned over the total correct items in the data pool is known as the 

recall

300

To determine all of the regions of the genome associated with a specific Histone modification, you would use this tech

ChIP seq

Heterochromatin is usually isolated in this part of the nucleus

Along the nuclear lamina
