Consensus sequence
Of a series of related dna, rna or protein sequences, the sequence that reflects the most common choice of base or amino acid at each position. Areas of particularly good agreement often represent conserved functional domains. The generation of consensus sequences has been subjected to intensive mathematical analysis.
Genes are expressed through the process of protein synthesis. This elaborate tutorial provides an in-depth review of the different steps of the biological production of protein starting from the gene up to the process of secretion. Also included are topics on DNA replication during interphase of the cell cycle, DNA mutation and repair mechanisms, gene pool, modification, and diseases...
This tutorial is about genetic regulation in eukaryotes. Learn about the general structure of a eukaryotic gene, the transcription factors and post-transcriptional regulation...
The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are the organelles involved in the translation step of protein synthesis and the ensuing post-translational steps. Read this tutorial for more info...
DNA is a double helix structure comprised of nucleotides. A nucleotide, in turn, is made up of phosphate molecule, deoxyribose, and a nitrogenous base. Know the fundamental structure of DNA and the process of DNA replication in this tutorial...
Part of the genetic information is devoted to the synthesis of proteins. mRNA, a type of RNA, is produced as a transcript that carries the code for protein synthesis. Read this tutorial for further details...
The body is comprised of different elements with hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen as the major four. This tutorial will help you understand the chemical composition of the body. This will come in handy when considering the various interactions between cells and structures. ..
