COTRANSDUCTION [2 records]

Record 1 2014-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

The transduction of two genes by one phage into the same recipient cell is called cotransduction. Cotransduction frequencies can be used for fine mapping of genes. The cotransduction of markers on opposite ends of the map derived from conjugation is part of the evidence that most bacterial chromosomes are actually circular.

  • Génétique
DEF

Transduction impliquant plus d'un gène. On peut alors penser que ces gènes sont fort proches l'un de l'autre. La mise en évidence de l'existence de pareilles associations de gènes permet de construire des cartes génétiques bactériennes.

Record 2 1985-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

The simultaneous transduction of two or more genes because the transduced element contains more than one locus. (KIDIG)

CONT

... if two markers are cotransduced with high frequency they are considered to be closely linked, whereas if they are never cotransduced they are probably separated by a length of DNA that is at least as long as one phage chromosome. (GOLGE p. 412)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Transduction simultanée de deux ou plusieurs gènes. (LINTS)

CONT

Dans quelques cas néanmoins (transduction généralisée) deux gènes sont transduits : on parle de cotransduction. On peut alors penser que ces gènes sont fort proches l'un de l'autre. (LISYL p. 2.58)
