front 1 Restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) | back 1 technique for sequencing DNA near specific restriction enzyme sites, rather than sequencing the whole genome. |
front 2 genome-wide association study (GWAS) | back 2 surveys markers (points of variation) across the genome and highlights those markers for which variation seems to segregate with the phenotype of interest. |
front 3 scaffold | back 3 Stretch of dna sequence |
front 4 Synteny | back 4 refer to the location of one or more genes near each other (and often in the same order) on one chromosome, across two or more species. |
front 5 Linkage disequilibrium | back 5 tendency of nearby, linked regions of DNA to be inherited together. |
front 6 haplotype | back 6 block of genetic variants (usually single-nucleotide polymorphisms) that is inherited together |
front 7 synthetic lethal alleles | back 7 single mutants are viable, but the double mutant dies |
front 8 Penetrance | back 8 percentage of individuals with a given |
front 9 Expressivity | back 9 degree to which an individual with a given genotype (allele) shows the associated phenotype. Expressivity refers to the intensity of the phenotype. (variable phenotypic expression within individuals) |
