Genome
All of the genetic info an organism contains
Satalitte dna
Short repeated seq of dna
Variable number tandom rep
In a mini satellite where a sequence of 20-50 bp is repeated from 50 to several hundred times occurring in more than one thousand locations in the human genome
Short tandom repeats
Microsatallite 2-4 bases repeated only 5-15 times
Dna profiling
Making an image of the patterns in the DNA of an individual
Electrophoresis
Uses the way that charged particles move thru a gel medium under the influence of an electric charge
Bioinformatics
Development of soft ware and computing tools needed to organise and analyse raw biological data in long devolving algorithms maths models and statisticical tests to help us understand the enormous amount of databeing generated
Computational biologys
Uses the data from bioinformatics to build theoretical models of biological systems which can the. Be used to predict what would happen under different circumstance
So the study of biology using computational techniques esp for analysis of huge amount of biodata
Proteonomics
Study and a.a seq of an organisms entire protein compartment
Electropfusion
Tiny electric currents applied to memb of two diff cells. This fuses the cell and the nuclear memb of the two diff cells together to make a hybrid or polyploid contains DNA from both
Synthetic biology
The design and construction of a novel artificial biological pathways organisms or devices. Or the redesign of existing natural biological systems
Electroporation
A method of transformation ..Small electrical current added to bacteria making membrane porous so plasmids move into the cell
Pharming
The production of human medicines
Somatic cell gene therapy
Replace mutant allele with a healthy allele in the affected somatic cells.
Germ line cell gene therapy
Inserting the healthy allele into germ cells or into a very early embryo
