Record 2 2012-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
DEF

The DNA that has been derived from a source organism and has been integrated into a host cell.

CONT

The situation of expressing heterologous DNA(DNA from a different species) in E. coli [Escherichia coli] has been discussed and it is clear that the well investigated genetic system of E. coli has enabled much valuable information to be gathered.

Key term(s)
  • foreign deoxyribonucleic acid

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Biologie moléculaire
  • Biotechnologie
DEF

Fragment, plus ou moins long, d'ADN qui provient d'un organisme étranger ou externe et qui est intégré dans une cellule hôte.

CONT

Les données relatives à l'expression d'un ADN hétérologue (ADN d'une espèce différente) dans E. coli [Escherichia coli] ont été examinées et il est manifeste que le système génétique bien étudié d'E. coli a permis de rassembler un grand nombre d'informations précieuses.

Key term(s)
  • acide désoxyribonucléique étranger

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
  • Biología molecular
  • Biotecnología
DEF

ADN que proviene de un organismo y que se introduce en una célula de otro organismo de una especie diferente.

CONT

Transfección de ADN: introducción en una célula en cultivo [...] permeable al ADN, de moléculas [...] de ADN extrañas (heterólogas) insertadas en un vector. [...] La transformación requiere la integración del ADN exógeno en el cromosoma bacteriano mientras que la transfección usualmente no la requiere. El ADN extraño se asocia con el del cromosoma del huésped y se expresa como un fenotipo identificable.

Key term(s)
  • ácido desoxirribonucleico extraño
