Science / Biology / Dna Polymerase: In DNA replication, the enzyme that links the complementary nucleotides together to form the newly synthesized strand. MORE
Science / Biology / Semiconservative Replication: Process of DNA replication in which the DNA helix is unwound and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand, which is linked to the old strand. Thus, one old stra MORE
Science / Genetics / Junk DNA: Stretches of dna that do not code for genes: most of the genome consists of so-called junk dna which may have regulatory and other functions. Also called non-coding dna. MORE
Science / Genetics / Finished DNA Sequence: High-quality, low error, gap-free dna sequence of the human genome. Achieving this ultimate 2003 hgp goal requires additional sequencing to close gaps, reduce ambiguities, and allow for only a single MORE
Science / Genetics / Exogenous DNA: Dna originating outside an organism that has been introducted into the organism. MORE
