Gene - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Gene;

NCIt synonyms : Genes;

NCIt definition : A functional unit of heredity which occupies a specific position on a particular chromosome and serves as the template for a product that contributes to a phenotype or a biological function.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: The functional and physical unit of heredity passed from parent to offspring. Genes are pieces of DNA, and most genes contain the information for making a specific protein.; BRIDG 5.3: A functional unit of heredity that occupies a specific position (locus) on a particular chromosome, is capable of reproducing itself exactly at each cell division, and directs the formation of a protein or other product. Comment Requested: In interest of re-using existing standards, should the above definition of Gene be replaced by the following from the NLM - The basic physical and functional unit of heredity. It is made up of DNA and act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. [Source: http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/basics/gene] EXAMPLE(S): BRCA1 gene OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S):;

NCIt note : The gene as a functional unit consists of a discrete segment of a giant DNA molecule containing the purine (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidine (cytosine and thymine) bases in the ordered and correct sequence that encodes a specific functional product (i.e., a protein or RNA molecule).;
