impact of genomics

QuestionAnswer
biotenchology branch of science that uses living organisms to manufacture food, drugs, or other products
molecular medicine involves the diagnosis and treatment of different genetic diseases
microbial genomics involves the use of genetically engineered bacteria for bioremediation, pollutant detection, the production of biofuels, and more
bioarchaeology and anthropology involves the study of human evolution and migration
DNA forensics involves the use of DNA to help solve crimes, including the use of a DNA fingerprint
agricultural genetic engineering involves the genetic engineering of pest- or drought-resistant crops, healthier farm animals, biopesticides, crops containing life-saving vaccines, and more
purine Double ring
genetics Science of heredity; refers to single gene function
genomics Study of entire genome; how a set of genes interact with each other and the environment
Genetic anticipation Caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion, found in exons, introns, as well as 5' or 3' UTRs
Favism A range of symptoms due to hemolytic anemia (G6PD deficiency)
Pyrimidines Single ring (Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil
What are risk factors for the development of tardive dyskinesia Age, Duration of antipsychotic treatment, typical antipsychotic use, Presence of EPS, Akathisia, Substance abuse
phosphate Enzyme used to prevent vector (or donor DNA) re-ligation
infection Use of a lytic phage as the host for a recombinant vector
transformation Use of heat shock to insert a recombinant vector into a bacterial host
adaptor In the production of cDNA, restriction site blunt-ligated to the 5' end of the (former) mRNA rendered in DNA
PCR Use of thermo-cycles to amplify a segment of DNA; requires reverse complement primers
northern Blot used to determine in which tissue a gene is expressed or to detect splice variants
southern Blot used to determine which positive samples contain the desired segment of a gene of interest
bioinformatics Study of the information content of genomes
synteny Regions of chromosomes conserved between species
hybirdization screen Procedure used to identify gene of interest in a DNA library; colonies (plaques) are blotted, probed, and exposed
genomic DNA library Organism specific collection of recombinant vectors that contain the complete genetic information of an organism; used in sequencing

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
