|
|
the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data

|
An international collaborative effort to map and sequence the DNA of the entire human genome

Human Genome Project |
officially began in 1990
|
|
|
Procedure for genome sequencing in which the genome is randomly cut into many overlapping short segments that are sequenced
|
whole-genome shotgun approach |
computer software then assembles the complete sequence.
|
|
|
process where DNA from an entire group of species is collected from a environmental sample and sequenced.
|
metagenomics
|
Computer software sorts partial sequences and assembles them into genome sequences of individual species making up the sample
|
|
|
Analysis of genomic sequences to identify protein-coding genes and determine the function of their products.
|
gene annotation
|
|
|
|
biological study that aims to model the dynamic behavior of whole biological systems based on a study of the interactions among the system’s parts.
|
systems biology
|
|
|
|
The systematic study of sets of proteins and their properties, including their abundance, chemical modifications, and interactions.
|
proteomics
|
|
|
|
former genes that have accumulated mutations over a long time and no longer produce functional proteins
|
psuedogenes
|
|
|
|
Nucleotide sequences, usually noncoding, that are present in many copies in a eukaryotic genome
|
repetitive DNA
|
|
|
|
A segment of DNA that can move within the genome of a cell by means of a DNA or RNA intermediate
|
transposable elements
|
also called a transposable genetic element
|
|
|
a transposable element that moves within a genome by means of a DNA intermediate
|
transposons
|
|
|
|
A transposable element that moves within a genome by means of an RNA intermediate
|
retrotransposons
|
|
|
|
A DNA sequence that contains many copies of tandemly repeated short sequences.
|
simple sequence DNA
|
|
|
|
Simple sequence DNA containing multiple tandemly repeated units of 2-5 nucleotides
|
short tandem repeats (str)
|
Variations as genetic markers in STR analysis, used to prepare genetic profiles

|
|
collections of two or more identical or very similar genes

|
|
|
A 180-nucleotide sequence within homeotic genes and some other developmental genes that is widely conserved in animals
|
homeobox
|
|
|
|
biology that compares developmental processes of different multicellular organisms to understand how these processes have evolved and how changes can modify existing organismal features or lead to new ones
|
evo-devo
|
also known as evolutionary developmental biology
|
