altered gene
Carcinogenesis can result either from the expression of a mutant version or from an altered gene product.

cell gene
The bestknown example is probably that of the sickle cell gene.
From theCambridge English Corpus
certain gene
Going a step further and improving a certain gene in the clone, we reach the dangerous zone of racial improvement.

defective gene
Introducing a normal copy of a defective gene will first require knowledge that a mutation exists in the fetus.
From theCambridge English Corpus
distinct gene
After consolidating duplicate entries five distinct gene products with clearly defined olfactomedin homology domains were selected for detailed analysis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
endogenous gene
Further, we determined the decoy effects on endogenous gene expression.
From theCambridge English Corpus
expressed gene
Marker no. 8/19 may represent such a transiently expressed gene; its expression is subsequently stopped during formation of the transcriptionally repressive state.
From theCambridge English Corpus
faulty gene
With the trust's help, we are now close to discovering the faulty gene, which is why a cure may soon be possible.

functional gene
The complete sequence of this transcript remains to be established and, thus, it is not known whether it represents a functional gene.
From theCambridge English Corpus
gene flow
Influence of gene flow and breeding tactics on gene diversity with populations.
From theCambridge English Corpus
gene transfer
Either the purple bacteria have acquired the photosynthesis genes recently by lateral gene transfer or selective pressure forced various species to retain these organizational patterns.
From theCambridge English Corpus
horizontal gene transfer
Given this uncertainty, assessment of the potential harm that could result if horizontal gene transfer were to occur for a specific transgene would be particularly important.
From theCambridge English Corpus
imprinted gene
This novel imprinted gene is expressed exclusively or predominantly from the paternal allele in all tissues examined.
From theCambridge English Corpus
known gene
Recent developments in breeding theory aim to reduce this loss in polygenic response when selecting for a known gene of detectable effect.
From theCambridge English Corpus
lateral gene transfer
Either the purple bacteria have acquired the photosynthesis genes recently by lateral gene transfer or selective pressure forced various species to retain these organizational patterns.
From theCambridge English Corpus
mutant gene
The mutant gene had a slightly but significantly, greater effect in the selection line.
From theCambridge English Corpus
mutated gene
Second, the frequency of the mutation changes rapidly because a mutated gene is eliminated as soon as it is passed onto a son.
From theCambridge English Corpus
novel gene
Molecular analysis of the integration site revealed that the vector had integrated into an exon of a novel gene.
From theCambridge English Corpus
opsin gene
One significant difference between the transgene and the endogenous opsin gene is the implicit onset of opsin expression.
From theCambridge English Corpus
protein-coding gene
These data are summarized, before focusing in more detail on polymorphisms within protein-coding genes of potential relevance to the host-parasite relationship, such as vaccine candidates.
From theCambridge English Corpus
recessive gene
The likelihood of both parents carrying the same recessive gene is increased if they are cousins or other blood relatives.
From theCambridge English Corpus
regulation of gene expression
Issues of efficacy, safety and regulation of gene expression are currently under debate world-wide.
From theCambridge English Corpus
selfish gene
They consider this to be a major paradox, because according to selfish gene theories, liars should possess genetic advantages over truth-tellers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
single gene
Recent investigations have shown that a growing number of congenital heart malformations is due to single gene defects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
specific gene
The difficulty will now be to identify the specific gene(s) within these intervals and to elucidate how they modify disease pathology.
From theCambridge English Corpus
target gene
It was hypothesized that the short distances spanned by linkage disequilibrium enable markers that are very tightly linked to a target gene to be identified.
From theCambridge English Corpus
transporter gene
Efficacy of paroxetine in depression is influenced by a functional polymorphism within the promoter of the serotonin transporter gene.
From theCambridge English Corpus
tumor suppressor gene
