DNA deoxyribonucleic acid. complementary DNA (cDNA), copy DNA DNA transcribed from a specific RNA through the action of the enzyme reverse transcriptase. mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) the DNA of the mitochondrial chromosome, existing in several thousand copies per cell and inherited exclusively from the mother. nuclear DNA (nDNA) the DNA of the chromosomes found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. recombinant DNA DNA artificially constructed by insertion of foreign DNA into the DNA of an appropriate organism so that the foreign DNA is replicated along with the host DNA. repetitive DNA nucleotide sequences occurring multiply within a genome; it is characteristic of eukaryotes and some is satellite DNA while other sequences encode genes for ribosomal RNA and histones. satellite DNA short, highly repeated eukaryotic DNA sequences, usually clustered in heterochromatin and generally not transcribed. single copy DNA (scDNA) nucleotide sequences present once in the haploid genome, as are most of those encoding polypeptides in the eukaryotic genome. spacer DNA the nucleotide sequences occurring between genes.

To determine which gene or genes the LAT microRNA might be acting on, Fraser's team used another computer program to search for complementary DNA segments. At the end of the treatment periods, mRNA was extracted from the cells, pooled according to treaunent and cell line, and used to create labeled complementary DNA samples. Japan's focus on human full complementary DNA sequencing and SNPs puts it an ideal position for major advances in the future. |
