- Company Profile:
The process of joining two complementary strands of DNA or one each of DNA and RNA to form a double-stranded molecule..
Industry:Biology
DNA originating outside an organism that has been introducted into the organism..
Industry:Biology
Stretches of DNA that do not code for genes; most of the genome consists of so-called junk DNA which may have regulatory and other functions. Also called non-coding DNA..
Industry:Biology
RNA that serves as a template for protein synthesis.
See also: genetic code.
Industry:Biology
The genetic material found in mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for the cell. Not inherited in the same fashion as nucleic DNA.
See also: cell, DNA, genome, nucleus.
Industry:Biology
Enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of nucleic acids on preexisting nucleic acid templates, assembling RNA from ribonucleotides or DNA from deoxyribonucleotides..
Industry:Biology
A combination of DNA molecules of different origin that are joined using recombinant DNA technologies..
Industry:Biology
Procedure used to join together DNA segments in a cell-free system (an environment outside a cell or organism). Under appropriate conditions, a recombinant DNA molecule can enter a cell and replicate there, either autonomously or after it has become integrated into a cellular chromosome..
Industry:Biology
Sequences of varying lengths that occur in multiple copies in the genome; it represents much of the human genome..
