Genetic engineering
The science of modifying and manipulating genes to create new artificial DNA or synthetic genes of different organisms. There are many purposes for genetic engineering, some of which include finding better treatment for diseases, or simply for discovering new organism of interest.

Genetic engineering
Algal biomass
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Single-celled plants, such as Chlorella spp. and Spirulina spp., are grown commercially in ponds to make feed materials. Chlorella is grown commercially to make into fish food: it is fed to ...
Weed
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Simply any plant growing where it is not wanted. In agriculture, used for a plant which has good colonising capability in a disturbed environment, and can usually compete with a cultivated species ...
Okazaki fragment
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Since DNA can be replicated in only one direction, i.e., nucleotides can be added only at the 3´ end, only one of the two strands of a double helix can be replicated continuously. The other strand is ...
Exude
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Slowly discharge; leak liquid material (exudate such as tannins or oxidised polyphenols) through pores or cuts, or by diffusion into the medium. In some woody plant species, exudation is associated ...
Extension
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Single-stranded DNA region consisting of one or more nucleotides at the end of a strand of duplex DNA. a.k.a. protruding end; sticky end; overhang; cohesive end.
R-loops
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Single-stranded DNA regions in RNA-DNA hybrids formed in vitro under conditions where RNA-DNA duplexes are more stable than DNA-DNA duplexes.
Chromomeres
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Small bodies, described by J. Belling, that are identified by their characteristic size and linear arrangement along a chromosome.
