Non-homologous end joining — (NHEJ) is a pathway that repairs double strand breaks in DNA. NHEJ is referred to as non homologous because the break ends are directly ligated without the need for a homologous template, in contrast to homologous recombination, which requires a… … Wikipedia
Coding strand — When referring to DNA transcription, the coding strand is the DNA strand which has the same base sequence as the RNA transcript produced (although with thymine replaced by uracil). It is this strand which contains codons, while the non coding… … Wikipedia
Non-coding RNA — A non coding RNA (ncRNA) is a functional RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein. Less frequently used synonyms are non protein coding RNA (npcRNA), non messenger RNA (nmRNA) and functional RNA (fRNA). The term small RNA (sRNA) is… … Wikipedia
Immortal DNA strand hypothesis — The immortal DNA strand hypothesis was proposed in 1975 by John Cairns as a mechanism for adult stem cells to minimize mutations in their genomes.Cairns, J. 1975. Mutation selection and the natural history of cancer. Nature (London) 255: 197… … Wikipedia
Discovery and development of non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors — Non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are antiretroviral drugs used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). NNRTIs inhibit reverse transcriptase (RT), an enzyme that controls the replication of the genetic… … Wikipedia
Transcription (genetics) — Transcription is the process of creating a complementary RNA copy of a sequence of DNA.[1] Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language that can be converted back and forth from DNA to RNA by … Wikipedia
DNA mismatch repair — is a system for recognizing and repairing erroneous insertion, deletion and mis incorporation of bases that can arise during DNA replication and recombination, as well as repairing some forms of DNA damage.[1][2] Mismatch repair is strand… … Wikipedia
Sense (molecular biology) — In molecular biology and genetics, sense is a concept used to compare the polarity of nucleic acid molecules, such as DNA or RNA, to other nucleic acid molecules. Depending on the context within molecular biology, sense may have slightly… … Wikipedia

Gene expression — For vocabulary, see Glossary of gene expression terms. For a non technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to genetics. Genes are expressed by being transcribed into RNA, and this transcript may then be translated into protein. Gene… … Wikipedia
