  2. Terminator (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminator_(genetics)

    In genetics, a transcription terminator is a section of nucleic acid sequence that marks the end of a gene or operon in genomic DNA during transcription.This sequence mediates transcriptional termination by providing signals in the newly synthesized transcript RNA that trigger processes which release the transcript RNA from the transcriptional complex.

    For example, few groups are more cautious than the Amish about embracing new technologies, but, though they shun television and use horses and buggies, some are welcoming the possibilities of gene therapy since inbreeding has afflicted them with a number of rare genetic diseases. [135]

    The GURT process is typically composed of four genetic components: a target gene, a promoter, a trait switch, and a genetic switch, sometimes with slightly different names given in different papers. [5] A typical GURT involves the engineering of a plant that has a target gene in its DNA that expresses when activated by a promoter gene.

  5. Termination signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_signal

    Termination signals play an important role in regulating gene expression since they mark the end of a gene transcript and determine which DNA sequences are expressed in the cell. [1] Expression levels of certain genes can be increased by inhibiting signal terminators, known as antitermination , which allows for transcription to continue beyond ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_determinism

    Biological determinism, also known as genetic determinism, [1] is the belief that human behaviour is directly controlled by an individual's genes or some component of their physiology, generally at the expense of the role of the environment, whether in embryonic development or in learning. [2]

    Candidate Genes. One popular approach has been to test for association candidate genes with behavioural phenotypes, where the candidate gene is selected based on some a priori theory about biological mechanisms involved in the manifestation of a behavioural trait or phenotype. [34]
