-
operon
a segment of DNA containing adjacent genes including structural genes and an operator gene and a regulatory gene
-
cDNA, complementary DNA
single-stranded DNA that is complementary to messenger RNA or DNA that has been synthesized from messenger RNA by reverse transcriptase
-
episome
DNA that is not incorporated into the genome but is replicated together with the genome (especially in bacterial cells)
-
coding DNA, exon
sequence of a gene's DNA that transcribes into protein structures
-
intron, noncoding DNA
sequence of a eukaryotic gene's DNA that is not translated into a protein
-
junk DNA
stretches of DNA that do not code for genes
-
recombinant DNA, recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid
genetically engineered DNA made by recombining fragments of DNA from different organisms
-
sticky end
an end of DNA in which one strand of the double helix extends a few units beyond the other
-
jumping gene, transposon
a segment of DNA that can become integrated at many different sites along a chromosome (especially a segment of bacterial DNA that can be translocated as a whole)
-
provirus
cDNA copy of the RNA genome of a retrovirus; the genetic material of a virus as incorporated into and able to replicate with the genome of a host cell
-
dscDNA
double-stranded cDNA
