produced by bacteria as a defense mechanism against bacteriophage infection. Restrict infections by degrading the viral DNA. Binds to DNA at a specific nucleotide sequence and cuts both strands of DNA within the sequence by cleaving phosphodiester bonds.

Joins DNA fragments together using DNA Ligase to glue the backbone together.

RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism)

Identifies variation in DNA sequences by cutting DNA into different fragment sizes.

ASO (Allele specific oligonucleotide)

specific DNA probes used to detect point mutations, which are SNPs

They're variations in DNA sequences from person to person. They're short, single stranded and hybridize complementary alleles/sequences.

Whole genome sequencing. Part of personal genomics. Entire genome.

organizes whole populations. can be graphed.

encodes long noncoding RNA that coats the X chromosome. Results in changes in chromatin structure that SILENCE transcription. Turns off the inactive X chromosome. Recruits PCR2.

transcribed on the active X chromosome. Antisense to Xist. Represses the encoding of Xist on the X chomosome, letting one X chomosome be active.

encodes lncRNA that stimulates the transcription of Xist on the inactive X chromosome. Basiclly activates Xist on the inactive X chromosome.

proteins produce epigenetic marks that repress transcription, Recruited by Xist.

Term	Definition
restriction enzymes	produced by bacteria as a defense mechanism against bacteriophage infection. Restrict infections by degrading the viral DNA. Binds to DNA at a specific nucleotide sequence and cuts both strands of DNA within the sequence by cleaving phosphodiester bonds.
Fragment Link	Joins DNA fragments together using DNA Ligase to glue the backbone together.
RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism)	Identifies variation in DNA sequences by cutting DNA into different fragment sizes.
ASO (Allele specific oligonucleotide)	specific DNA probes used to detect point mutations, which are SNPs
SNPs	They're variations in DNA sequences from person to person. They're short, single stranded and hybridize complementary alleles/sequences.
WGS	Whole genome sequencing. Part of personal genomics. Entire genome.
GWAs	organizes whole populations. can be graphed.
Xist	encodes long noncoding RNA that coats the X chromosome. Results in changes in chromatin structure that SILENCE transcription. Turns off the inactive X chromosome. Recruits PCR2.
Tsix gene	transcribed on the active X chromosome. Antisense to Xist. Represses the encoding of Xist on the X chomosome, letting one X chomosome be active.
Jpx gene	encodes lncRNA that stimulates the transcription of Xist on the inactive X chromosome. Basiclly activates Xist on the inactive X chromosome.
Xite gene	sustains Tsix.
PCR2	proteins produce epigenetic marks that repress transcription, Recruited by Xist.
