The products of essential genes can also be studied when expressed in other organisms, or when purified and studied in vitro. Conditionally essential genes are easier to study. Temperature-sensitive variants of essential genes have been identified which encode products that lose function at high temperatures, and so only show a phenotype at ...
Benjamin Lewin is a molecular biologist who founded the journal Cell [1] and authored the textbook Genes. [2] He is credited with building Cell into a recognized journal of cellular biology in a short period of time to rival Nature and Science .
3' untranslated region (3'-UTR). Also three-prime untranslated region, 3' non-translated region (3'-NTR), and trailer sequence.. 3'-end. Also three-prime end.. One of two ends of a single linear strand of DNA or RNA, specifically the end at which the chain of nucleotides terminates at the third carbon atom in the furanose ring of deoxyribose or ribose (i.e. the terminus at which the 3' carbon ...

Unlike prokaryotes where exon-intron organization of protein coding genes exists but is rather exceptional, eukaryotes generally have these features in their genes and their genomes contain variable amounts of repetitive DNA. In mammals and plants, the majority of the genome is composed of repetitive DNA. [31]
The human genome is the total collection of genes in a human being contained in the human chromosome, composed of over three billion nucleotides. [2] In April 2003, the Human Genome Project was able to sequence all the DNA in the human genome, and to discover that the human genome was composed of around 20,000 protein coding genes.
In September, 2011, an iPhone App of the English Talking Glossary was released by NHGRI and made available as a free download in the Apple App store. The App version contains all 3-D animations, high quality illustrations, the "Test Your Gene IQ" quiz, and similar user functions such as "Suggest a Term" and "Mail This Term to a Friend."
[1] [5] [6] The GeneCards database provides access to free Web resources about more than 350,000 known and predicted human genes, integrated from >150 data resources, such as HGNC, Ensembl, and NCBI. The core gene list is based on NCBI, Ensembl and approved gene symbols published by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC).
