(genetics) (of a gamete or a population) Having only one allele of a gene or genes.
n
(genetics) The presence of the same series of bases in different but related genes.

(genetics) The statistical inference of unobserved genotypes.
adj
(genetics) Such that one allele affects the expression of another allele in the same gene locus.

n
The presence of multiple alleles at the same locus
adj
(genetics) Pertaining to, or producing, multiple copies of the same gene.
adj
(genetics) Involving multiple genes
adj
(genetics) Describing an inherited characteristic that is specified by a combination of multiple genes.
n
(genetics) The presence of multiple mutations
adj
(genetics) Relating to more than one transcript.
adj
(genetics, of a gene) Having a new location
adj
(genetics) Carrying two mutant alleles for the same gene, both alleles being complete loss-of-function or "null" alleles.
n
(genetics) The process of rendering something orthologous.
adj
(genetics) Exhibiting overdominance.
n
(genetics) A pair of genes that derives from the same ancestral gene and now reside at different locations within the same genome.
n
(genetics) A mutation that creates a phenocopy
n
(genetics) a delay in the expression of a phenotype acquired by mutation.
n
(genetics) A map showing how much DNA separates two genes, measured in base pairs, as opposed to a genetic map.
n
(genetics) A pleiotropic gene
n
(genetics) The regular existence of two or more different genotypes within a given species or population; also, variability of amino acid sequences within a gene's protein.
n
An organism involved in pseudorecombination
n
(genetics) The reversion of a mutation in which the products are different from the originals
adj
(genetics) That has undergone pseudoreversion
n
A locus (gene) that is among the factors affecting a trait whose values of interest are continuous rather than merely two.
adj
(genetics) produced by (the interaction of) four genes
adj
(genetics) Resulting from segregation
adj
(genetics) Exhibiting incomplete dominance.
n
(genetics) A spoligotype profile

based on a statistical analysis of how they are used in writing. Some
of the words and concepts may be vulgar or offensive. The names of the
clusters were written automatically and may not precisely describe
every word within the cluster; furthermore, the clusters may be
