Genome in a sentence

A genome map is less detailed than a genome sequence and aids in navigating around the genome.

Because it involves first creating a low-resolution map of the genome, hierarchical shotgun sequencing is slower than whole-genome shotgun sequencing, but relies less heavily on computer algorithms than whole-genome shotgun sequencing.

Chloroplast genome reduction and gene transfer Over time, many parts of the chloroplast genome were transferred to the nuclear genome of the host, citation a process called endosymbiotic gene transfer.

In 2000, Venter and Francis Collins of the National Institutes of Health and U.S. Public Genome Project jointly made the announcement of the mapping of the human genome, a full three years ahead of the expected end of the Public Genome Program.

Its genome is more than 50 times the human genome's size.

By “UP genome,” the Energy Committee vice-chairman was referring to the Philippine Genome Center (PGC) in UP-Diliman (University of the Philippines-Diliman).

Take an early February paper that that the similarities between the genome of the novel coronavirus and the genome of HIV suggested that the virus had been genetically engineered.

The German shepherd genome is also an advance on 2005's Boxer genome because of the breed itself.

A group of scientists sequenced the parrot’s genome from a preserved specimen held in a private collection and cross-referenced it with the genome of its still-living relative, the South American sun parakeet.

The paper compared older subtyping practices -- some practices going back to the 1930s -- to the newer whole-genome sequencing, a method that can analyze a wider, more complete swath of the genome.

They then sequenced the entire genome of the mice to make sure that the virus was completely gone, and there were no chromosomal side effects of the gene-editing - i.e. that their technique had caused some other problems in the genome.

A human cell has genetic material contained in the cell nucleus (the nuclear genome ) and in the mitochondria (the mitochondrial genome ).

Also relevant in determining if the replicon is a chromosome is whether it represents a significant percentage of the genome, and chromosome 2 is 40% by size of the entire genome.

A rough draft of the human genome was completed by the Human Genome Project in early 2001, creating much fanfare.

As noted above, this hypothesis was supported in a statistical analysis of the Trichoplax adhaerens whole genome sequence in comparison to the whole genome sequences of six other animals and two related non-animal species.

As with the paternal DNA of African Americans, contributions from other parts of the continent to their maternal gene pool are insignificant. citation Genome-wide studies According to a genome-wide study by Bryc et al.

Comparison of these sequences shows a remarkable amount of diversity; only about 20% of each genome represents sequences present in every one of the isolates, while around 80% of each genome can vary among isolates.

Comparisons with their closest free living cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus (having a genome size 3 Mb, with 3300 genes) revealed that chromatophores underwent a drastic genome shrinkage.
