Your Ad Here	Gene chip technology Development of cDNA microarrays from a large number of genes. Used to monitor and measure changes in gene expression for each gene represented on the clip. Gene cloning The directed incorporation of a gene of interest into a self-replicating DNA vector, and the amplification of the resulting recombinant DNA molecule in the appropriate host cell
Gene conversion The conversion of one allelic form of a gene to another, usually involving recombination. Gene expression The process by which a gene’s coded information is converted into the structures present and operating in the cell. Expressed genes include those that are transcribed into mRNA and then translated into protein and those that are transcribed into RNA but not translated into protein (e.g., transfer and ribosomal RNAs). 2. The process by which the information encoded in a gene is converted into protein or some form of RNA. The DNA sequence is first transcribed into RNA and then usually, but not always, translated into protein 3. The process of RNA and protein production by which genes exert their phenotypic effects on an organism.
Gene family Group of closely related genes that make similar products. A set of related genes occupying various loci in the DNA, almost certainly formed by duplication of an ancestral gene and having a recognizably similar sequence. Members of a gene family may be functionally very similar or differ widely. The globin gene family is an example. Gene flow The movement of genes into or through a population by interbreeding or by migration and interbreeding. Gene prediction Predictions of possible genes made by a computer program based on how well stretch of DNA sequence matches known gene sequences	Your Ad Here
Gene frequency The frequency in the population of a particular gene relative to other genes at its locus. Expressed as a proportion (between 0 and 1) or percentage (between 0 and 100 percent). Gene library See: genomic library Gene product The biochemical material, either RNA or protein, resulting from expression of a gene. The amount of gene product is used to measure how active a gene is; abnormal amounts can be correlated with disease-causing alleles.
Your Ad Here	Gene mapping Determination of the relative positions of genes on a DNA molecule (chromosome or plasmid) and of the distance, in linkage units or physical units, between them. 2. The ordering of genes on chromosomes according to recombination frequency. Gene pool All the variations of genes in a species. See also: allele, gene, polymorphism. 2. The total set of all alleles in members of a breeding population at a given time. 3. All the genes in a population at a particular time.
