Gendicine (recombinant human p53 adenovirus)
Gendicine (今又生), recombinant human p53 adenovirus injection by Shenzhen SiBiono, approved in China October 2003 as the world's first gene therapy drug; treats head and neck squamous carcinoma with radiotherapy via intratumoral injection.
Gendry
Gendry is a fictional blacksmith and unacknowledged bastard son of King Robert Baratheon in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, played by Joe Dempsie; the TV show merges him with Edric Storm and legitimizes him as Lord of Storm's End.
Gendün Chöphel
Gendün Chöphel (1903–1951) was a Tibetan philosopher, historian, painter, and traveler, regarded as the pioneering figure of Tibetan modern art and a campaigner for Tibet's modernization.
GenDx
GenDx, formally Genome Diagnostics B.V., is a Dutch molecular diagnostics company in Utrecht, founded in 2005, that makes HLA typing reagents and software for matching transplant donors and recipients.
Gene
A gene is the basic unit of inheritance, a segment of DNA passed from parent to offspring that carries the information for a trait; humans have about 20,000 protein-coding genes.
Gene 89 protein
Gene 89 protein (Gp89) is the 103-aa predicted protein of mycobacteriophage D29 (UniProt O64270); gp89 also names unrelated 89th-gene products in other phages, while SWU1 GP89, a minor tail protein binding lipoarabinomannan, serves as a mycobacterial diagnostic reagent.
Gene Alan Frantz
Gene Alan Frantz is an American electrical engineer known as "the Father of DSP" for leading digital signal processor development at Texas Instruments, and elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2020.
Gene Amdahl
Gene Amdahl (1922–2015) was an American computer architect and entrepreneur who designed the IBM System/360, founded Amdahl Corporation to build IBM-compatible mainframes, and formulated Amdahl's law.
Gene Amplification
Gene amplification: increase in the number of copies of a gene without proportional increase in other genes; occurs via double-strand breaks, double minutes, HSRs; central in cancer (HER2) and antibiotic resistance.
Gene Anthony Ray
Gene Anthony Ray (1962–2003), Harlem-born actor and dancer, played Leroy Johnson in Fame (1980) and its 1982–1987 TV series; untrained, he won the role at an open audition and died of stroke complications in Manhattan.
Gene Autry
Gene Autry (1907-1998), the Singing Cowboy, was a country-western singer and film star with 93 movies, 91 TV episodes, the platinum 1949 Rudolph record, and original owner of the Angels baseball team.
Gene bank
Gene bank: facility preserving livestock and animal genetic material (semen, embryos, oocytes, cells, DNA) ex situ by cryoconservation; FAO reports 2,400+ breeds at risk, 600 extinct, semen stored for 1,542 breed populations.
Gene banking and cryopreservation of livestock genetic material
Gene banking and cryopreservation of livestock genetic material is the long-term frozen storage of semen, embryos, and DNA to conserve farm-animal breed diversity, framed by FAO's 2007 Global Plan of Action.
Gene Barry
Gene Barry, born Eugene Klass, was an American actor best known for the TV series Bat Masterson and Burke's Law and for the film The War of the Worlds (1953).
Gene Cernan
Gene Cernan was an American NASA astronaut who, as commander of Apollo 17 in December 1972, became the last person to walk on the Moon.
Gene Chizik
Gene Chizik (born 1961), American college football coach; Auburn head coach 2009-12, won 2010 BCS title with Cam Newton, fired after 3-9 in 2012; also Iowa State head coach and North Carolina defensive coordinator.
Gene Clark
Gene Clark (1944–1991), American singer-songwriter and founding member of the Byrds; principal writer of 'Eight Miles High'; later pioneer of country rock with Dillard & Clark and the solo albums White Light and No Other.
Gene co-expression analysis
Gene co-expression analysis, also called co-expression network analysis, is a bioinformatics method that groups genes with correlated expression patterns into modules used to infer shared function.
Gene Colan
Gene Colan (1926-2011), American comic book artist of Marvel's Silver Age known for Daredevil, Tomb of Dracula, and Howard the Duck; co-created Falcon and Blade; painterly pencil style.
Gene Conversion
Gene conversion: nonreciprocal transfer of DNA sequence from a donor to a homologous acceptor during homologous recombination; also called non-crossover recombination; mechanisms SDSA and dHJ dissolution; causes human disease and drives concerted evolution.
Gene Deitch
Gene Deitch (Eugene Merril Deitch, 1924–2020), American animator and director based in Prague from 1959; created Tom Terrific, directed 13 MGM Tom and Jerry shorts (1961–62) and the Oscar-winning Munro.
Gene Deletion
Gene deletion: loss of a DNA or RNA segment, from one nucleotide to whole genes, causing frameshifts or genomic disorders like Williams syndrome; detected by MLPA, array CGH, gap-PCR, or induced by CRISPR knockout.
Gene Dosage
Gene dosage is the number of copies of a gene in a cell; changes alter gene product levels, cause aneuploid syndromes and genomic disorders, and are offset by dosage compensation such as X inactivation.
Gene Dresselhaus
Gene Frederick Dresselhaus (1929–2021) was an American solid-state physicist at MIT whose 1955 analysis of spin-orbit coupling in semiconductors gave his name to the Dresselhaus effect, earning him the 2022 Buckley Prize.
Gene drive
A gene drive is a genetic engineering method that biases inheritance so a chosen construct spreads through a population faster than Mendelian rules allow, proposed by Austin Burt in 2003.
Gene duplication
Gene duplication: the emergence of a heritable extra gene copy via tandem duplication, transposition, or whole-genome duplication. Central to Ohno's 1970 theory; fates include deletion, subfunctionalization, neofunctionalization, and dosage-balance retention.
Gene E. Likens
Gene E. Likens, born 1935 in Indiana, is an American ecosystem ecologist who co-founded the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study and co-discovered acid rain in North America.
Gene E. Robinson
Gene E. Robinson is an American entomologist and behavioral biologist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who pioneered the genomics of social behavior using honey bees.
Gene Evans
Gene Evans (Eugene Barton Evans, 1922-1998), American character actor of war and western films; Samuel Fuller's tough guy in The Steel Helmet, also Operation Petticoat and My Friend Flicka.
