"genomes" is a correct and usable word in written English.
You can use it to refer to the complete set of genes or genetic material carried by an organism, or to the study of such genes. For example: Scientists are studying the genomes of different species of frogs.
FANS of genomics have long argued that decoding genomes one person at a time would revolutionise health care by leading to "personalised" medicine, in which doctors match the treatment to the individual.
By randomly mutating these genes and then breeding them with other, similarly mutated genomes, new offspring designs are created.
Fortunately, then, evolution has equipped mammals with the ability to detect by smell chemicals whose concentrations vary with differences in the MHC of the producer.That means people are able to sniff out suitable MHC genomes in prospective partners.
The foundation hoped to make a hybrid sufficiently Chinese to be protected, but sufficiently American to pass muster as local.With the aid of the genomes of the two species, Dr Powell and his collaborators began testing 27 Chinese chestnut genes in the American tree.
The genes that regulate the immune system are the most variable in the human genome so, peanutwise, some people are probably just dealt an unlucky hand by the genetic shuffling that created their own genomes out of their parents'.But for those people and particularly for those among them for whom even proximity to peanuts risks anaphylactic shock there is reason for hope.
This is the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).SNPs, as their name suggests, are places where the genomes of individuals differ by a single genetic letter.
It cannot, in other words, yield a family tree that has a breed at the end of every twig.By throwing some wolf genomes into the Bayesian analysis, Dr Ostrander was able to show that the Afro-Asian group was the closest to the ancestral wolf: wolf genomes from eight different places clustered with the Afro-Asian breeds.
Its first fruits were the genomes of bacteria.
It is worth stepping back for a moment to consider the evidence.For and against GMOsFarmers have been manipulating genomes since long before they knew about genes.
The mouse and human genomes are similar, and although mouse brains are smaller than human ones and have a different shape, the basic anatomy is the same.
Customers supply genetic material in the form of a cheek swab, which is then compared against a database of hundreds of thousands of people's genomes, and a list of genetic variations that are linked to diseases.
