antisense technology
A form of gene silencing that blocks expression of a gene using an RNA or similar molecule that is complementary to the genes mRNA transcript
bioremediation
Use of plants or microorganisms or their molecules to detoxify pollutants
biotechnology
The alteration of cells or biochemicals for a specific application
cloning vector
A piece of DNA used to transfer DNA from a cell of one organism into the cell of another
clustered regularly interspace short palindromic repeats
A genome editing tool that uses bacterial DNA and RNA to direct double stranded cuts in target DNA
complementary DNA
A DNA molecule synthesized from the Exon protein and coding sequences of a gene, omitting the control, sequences and introns
DNA micro array
Target jeans embedded in or attached to a glass or plastic chip to which labeled CDNA pieces from a clinical sample bind and fluoresce. Micro array, show patterns of gene expression and gene variance present.
gene Drive
Genome editing to eliminate transmission of a selected gene variant to eliminate a specific pathogen
Gene silencing
Blocking transcription of or degrading mRNA prevent preventing translation into protein
morpholinos
Synthetic molecules that resemble 25 linked DNA nucleotides that block splice site mutations restoring deleted Exxon’s and function and some genes
plasmid
A small circle of double stranded DNA found in some bacteria, yeast and plant cells. Used as a vector and recombinant DNA technology.
recombinant DNA
DNA that includes sequences from more than one species
recombinant DNA technology
Adding genes from one type of organism to the cells of another
restriction enzyme
A bacterial enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence. Used to create recombinant, DNA molecules and in genome editing.
Ribozyme
An RNA that is the catalytic part of a ribosome
RNA editing
A technology that alters adding to an intermediate(inosine) which is recognized as whine leading to a single base substitution
RNA interference
Introduction of a small interfering RNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of a specific mRNA
suppressor tRNA’s
Transfer RNAs that change, premature stop codes into amino acid coding codons
transcription activator like effector nuclease technology
A genome editing method that uses a bacterial restriction enzyme to cut DNA across both strands
transgenic organism
an individual with a genetic modification such as a gene from another species in every cell
zinc finger nuclease technology
A genome editing technique that uses protein motifs called zinc fingers to bind specific DNA triplets enabling a nuclease to cut the DNA across both strands
