Other Similar Biology Terms:
Bio Term capsid is the protein shell that encloses the viral genome; rod-shaped, polyhedral, or more completely shaped.Bio Term expression vector is A vector that has been designed to express cloned genes in a particular cell type.
Bio Term chimeric plasmid is Hybrid or genetically mixed plasmid used in DNA cloning.
Bio Term intron (intervening sequence) is A DNA segment of largely unknown function within a gene that specifically interupts the coding (exon) sequences of that gene. Introns are transcribed as part of the normal gene primary transcript, but intron sequences are not found in the functional mRNA. Intron sequences are removed from the primary transcript by a splicing mechanism.
Bio Term ORF (open reading frame) is A section of a sequenced piece of DNA that begins with an initiation (methionine ATG) codon and ends with a nonsense codon. ORFs all have the potential to encode a protein or polypeptide, however many may not actually do so.
