Industry:Biotechnology
The linear array of genes on a chromosome, based on recombination frequencies (linkage map) or physical location (physical or chromosomal map).
Industry:Biotechnology
The linear array of restriction endonuclease sites on a DNA molecule.
Industry:Biotechnology
The location of a gene on a sex chromosome, typically on the X chromosome.
Industry:Biotechnology
The locations in the world where particular domesticated plants originated. These areas show the highest variation, and are rich in wild alleles.
Industry:Biotechnology
The logarithm of the odds of linkage between two loci. Calculated from pedigree data, as the log (to base 10) of the ratio of the probability of the observed pedigree assuming linkage with a specified recombination fraction , to the probability of the observed pedigree assuming no linkage, i.e., recombination fraction = 0.5. A lod score (also called a <i>z</i> value) is thus calculated as <i>z</i> = log<sub>10</sub> (Prob(data
Industry:Biotechnology
The loss of the slower growing micro-organism when two organisms are being grown together.
Industry:Biotechnology
The maximal rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. <i>V</i><sub>max</sub> is the product of <i>E</i><sub>o</sub> (the total amount of enzyme) times the value of <i>K</i><sub>eat</sub> (the catalytic rate constant).
