Glossary Term
A collection of double stranded DNA fragments flanked by oligonucleotide sequence adapters to enable their analysis by high-throughput sequencing.
Glossary Term
Area of repetitive DNA within the genome consisting of multiple, end-to-end copies of a short DNA sequence usually comprised of di-, tri-, or tetranucleotide repeat units.
Glossary Term
A genetic process in which single-stranded RNA with base sequence complementary to a region of plus strand DNA is synthesized by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Following the binding of RNA polymerase on DNA promoter regions, the RNA product is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction, elongating RNA along the DNA strand as the polymerase proceeds, accompanied by unwinding and rewinding of the DNA template.
Glossary Term
A procedure that can determine the DNA sequence for nearly the entire genome of an individual.
