Full chromosome set

Usage examples of genome.

In a gratifyingly short time she demonstrated how allomorphism might be banished from the Haluk genome.

Here in the low-gravity environment of Triton, and with antiaging mechanisms wired centuries earlier into the human genome, life expectancy was around two centuries.

Tony May is analyzing the genomes of archaebacterial species that inhabit the hot, anaerobic waters of hydrothermal vents and deep rocks, looking for highly conserved genes that may have belonged to the universal ancestor of all life on Earth.

The commercial biotech firms had been springing up ever since the Human Genome Project started mapping the broad outline of human genes.

After all, we share much of our genome with eubacteria, even though the evolutionary divergence between the eubacteria and archaebacteria occurred very soon after the origin of life on Earth.

There are three different sets of self-duplicating nuclei, with the DNA in each set serving different purposes: a large macronucleus, governing the events in regeneration after injury, a set of eight or more micronuclei containing the parts of the genome needed for reproduction, and great numbers of tiny nuclei from which the cilia arise.

Wizards have actually had the human genome mostly mapped for some time now, while Muggles are only just now catching up.

Most contained incomplete or noncomplementary copies of the genomes and were unable to function, or contained so many copies than transcription was halting and imperfect.

Human Genome Sciences to help them analyze some genetic material they had isolated from the osteoclast cells of people with bone tumors.

After isolating the immortalizing traits from teratoma sources, I proposed that viral, retroviral, and even prion vectors might be engineered to transfer the selected traits into the human genome.

The centrioles and basal bodies are believed in some quarters to be semiautonomous organisms with their own separate genomes.

People had tried interpreting the data beyond the pixel array as a Swiftian genome, but Yatima doubted that even the quirkiest old SETI software would have attempted anything as absurd as a reading based on the DNA code.

He had posed a challenging problem, in the central area where my own ego lies: How does one make an efficient device for telomere inspection, without genome scanners or anything else involving microchip technology?

Through advances in technology, the cost and speed of reading our genomes has dropped one thousand-fold in 15 years and will likely keep going, so this is a hurdle we can overcome.

Engineering of adult cell genomes may one day become as routine as ways that we currently alter our bodies with cosmetics, drugs, vehicles, and education.
