Part 1 Concepts of gene and genome 1 Genome The complete set of genetic information in an organism's DNA is called its genome,and it carries the information for all the proteins the organism will ever synthesize. The totality of genetic information belonging to a cell or an organism,in particular,the DNA carries this information. 。 是指在细胞或生物体中,一套完整单体的遗传物 质的总和

2 Gene Concepts from the traditional genetics Gene is the structural and functional unit that control the traits of organisms. In molecular biology term: Gene is the specific DNA fragment that carries certain genetic information it can be transcribed into RNA or translated into functional peptides. 8

Gene is the specific DNA fragment that carries certain genetic information,it can be transcribed into RNA or translated into functional peptides

·New concepts: A gene is the complete,essential nucleotide sequence that synthesized the functional peptides or RNA. The nucleotide sequence encoding protein or Gene RNA The regulatory sequences guarantee the transcription 5'un-translated region Non-coding intron region 3'un-translated region 9
