Microarrays At Biology Glossary

What is it? Ordered sets of DNA fragments fixed to solid surfaces. The DNA fragments may represent all the open reading frames in a genome, a particular gene family, or any other subset of genes. Microarrays can be probed with RNA or cDNA derived from an organism to

Bio Term temperature-sensitive mutation is A conditional mutation that produces the mutant phenotype in one (restrictive or non-permissive) temperature range and the wild-type phenotype in another (permissive) temperature range.

Bio Term amber codon is The codon UAG, a nonsense codon.

Bio Term gene conversion is A meiotic process of directed change in which one allele directs the conversion of a partner allele to its own form. In asci of Ascomycete fungi a 4:4 ratio of alleles is expected after meiosis, yet 6:2 and 5:3 ratios are sometimes observed. A model of recombination, produced by Holliday, suggests that gene conversion may be explained by repair of heteroduplex DNA.

Bio Term mantle is The part of the epidermis of a mollusk that secretes the shell and covers the dorsal and lateral surfaces.

Bio Term rho-independent terminator is A DNA sequence signaling the termination of transcription; the rho protein is not required for termination.
