In biology, phenetics (/ f ɪ ˈ n ɛ t ɪ k s /; from Ancient Greek φαίνειν (phainein) ' to appear '), also known as taximetrics, is an attempt to classify organisms based on overall similarity, usually with respect to morphology or other observable traits, regardless of their phylogeny or evolutionary relation.
Gene nomenclature is the scientific naming of genes, the units of heredity in living organisms. It is also closely associated with protein nomenclature, as genes and the proteins they code for usually have similar nomenclature.
DNA transposons, LTR retrotransposons, SINEs, and LINEs make up a majority of the human genome. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), sometimes called selfish genetic elements, [1] are a type of genetic material that can move around within a genome, or that can be transferred from one species or replicon to another.
A replicon is a region of an organism's genome that is independently replicated from a single origin of replication [citation needed].A bacterial chromosome contains a single origin, and therefore the whole bacterial chromosome is a replicon.
Coacervate droplets dispersed in a dilute phase. Coacervate (/ k oʊ ə ˈ s ɜːr v ə t / or / k oʊ ˈ æ s ər v eɪ t /) is an aqueous phase rich in macromolecules such as synthetic polymers, proteins or nucleic acids.
Synthetic biology approaches and the CRISPR/Cas9 system to engineer new genetic systems that enable cells to autonomously record lineage information in their own genome have been developed. These systems are based on engineered, targeted mutation of defined genetic elements.
Cell synchronization is a process by which cells in a culture at different stages of the cell cycle are brought to the same phase. Cell synchrony is a vital process in the study of cells progressing through the cell cycle as it allows population-wide data to be collected rather than relying solely on single-cell experiments.
BIOFAB aims to catalogue high-quality BioBrick parts to accommodate the needs of professional synthetic biology community. The BioBrick Foundation (BBF) is a public-benefit organization established to promote the use of standardized BioBrick parts on a scale beyond the iGEM competition.
