Extracting biological meaning from large gene lists with DAVID.

30 Aug 2009 High-throughput genomics screening studies, such as microarray, proteomics, etc., often result in large, "interesting" gene lists, ranging in size from hundreds to thousands of genes. Given the challenges of functionally interpreting such large gene ... Read more...

Cytoplasmic inclusion cistron of Soybean mosaic virus serves as a virulence determinant on Rsv3-genotype soybean and a symptom determinant.

30 Aug 2009 Soybean mosaic virus (SMV; Potyvirus, Potyviridae) is one of the most widespread viruses of soybean globally. Three dominant resistance genes (Rsv1, Rsv3 and Rsv4) differentially confer resistance against SMV. Rsv1 confers extreme resistance and the ... Read more...

Improved mutation tagging with gene identifiers applied to membrane protein stability prediction.

25 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The automated retrieval and integration of information about protein point mutations in combination with structure, domain and interaction data from literature and databases promises to be a valuable approach to study structure-function ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Genes'

Definition: Specific sequences of nucleotides along a molecule of DNA (or, in the case of some viruses, RNA) which represent functional units of HEREDITY. Most eukaryotic genes contain a set of coding regions (EXONS) that are spliced together in the transcript, after removal of intervening sequence (INTRONS) and are therefore labeled split genes.

Descriptor UI: D005796

Alternative terms: Genes; Gene; Genetic Materials; Genetic Material; Material, Genetic; Materials, Genetic; Cistron; Cistrons;

Related Mesh Headings: Base Sequence; Genomic Library; Genome;

Allowable Qualifiers: drug effects; genetics; immunology; physiology; radiation effects; ethics;

Tree Number: G05.360.340.024.340;
