Glossary Term
A small-scale mutation in which a single nucleotide is exchanged for another. Mutagenic chemicals and mistakes in DNA replication may result in point mutations.
Glossary Term
A distribution function used to describe the occurrence of rare events or to describe the sampling distribution of isolated counts in a continuum of time or space. This special probability distribution can apply to the number of discrete independent random events occurring in a given interval when knowing their average rate of occurrence over a very long interval.
Indicators
This gene is involved in DNA replication and proofreading.
Indicators
This gene is involved in both DNA replication and DNA base-excision repair.

Glossary Term
A control sample that is known to produce a positive result if the test is working as expected.
Glossary Term
The enzymatic processing of a polypeptide chain after translation from messenger RNA and after peptide bond formation has occurred. Examples include glycosylation, acylation, limited proteolysis, phosphorylation, isoprenylation.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of telomere length.
Indicators
This gene is involved in repression of transcription. It plays a role in the formation of pre-plasma memory B cells and immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells.
Glossary Term
A quantitative representation of the degree of accuracy necessary for or associated with a particular action.
