Industry:Health care
A connection formed between chromatids, visible during meiosis, thought to be the point of the interchange involved in crossing-over.

A copy number variation (CNV) is when the number of copies of a particular gene varies from one individual to the next. Following the completion of the Human Genome Project, it became apparent that the genome experiences gains and losses of genetic material. The extent to which copy number variation contributes to human disease is not yet known. It has long been recognized that some cancers are associated with elevated copy numbers of particular genes.
Industry:Health care
A cross between an animal that is heterozygous for alleles obtained from two parental strains and a second animal from one of those parental strains. Also used to describe the breeding protocol of an outcross followed by a backcross.
Industry:Health care
A crosswise connecting part (as an atom or group) that connects parallel chains in a complex chemical molecule (as a protein).

Industry:Health care
A cytogenetic technique that uses specialized banding procedures (replication banding) to identify the late-replicating (inactive) X chromosome in cells. Because it is less complicated, less expensive, and less subjective, molecular testing is now used more commonly than replication analysis for X-chromosome inactivation studies.
