- Company Profile:
The study of how genomes respond to environmental stressors or toxicants. Combines genome-wide mRNA expression profiling with protein expression patterns using bioinformatics to understand the role of gene-environment interactions in disease and dysfunction..
Industry:Biology
A full set of genetic material consisting of paired chromosomes, one from each parental set. Most animal cells except the gametes have a diploid set of chromosomes. The diploid human genome has 46 chromosomes.
See also: haploid.
Industry:Biology
The synthesis of an RNA copy from a sequence of DNA (a gene); the first step in gene expression.
See also: translation.
Industry:Biology
A nitrogen-containing molecule having the chemical properties of a base. DNA contains the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

Industry:Biology
A laboratory process used on isolated molecules or microbes to cause mutations and identify subsequent adaptations to novel environments..
Industry:Biology
A protein that binds to regulatory regions and helps control gene expression..
Industry:Biology
A gel-based laboratory procedure that locates mRNA sequences on a gel that are complementary to a piece of DNA used as a probe.
See also: DNA, library.
Industry:Biology
Alteration of DNA at a specific site and its reinsertion into an organism to study any effects of the change..
Industry:Biology
The full complement of activated genes, mRNAs, or transcripts in a particular tissue at a particular time.
