Gene mapping
Gene mapping, also called genetic or genome mapping, establishes where genes and other DNA markers sit on a chromosome or genome, guiding the search for disease genes.
Gene Mauch
Gene Mauch (1925-2005), nicknamed the Little General, MLB infielder and manager of the Phillies, Expos, Twins, and Angels; 1,902 wins over 26 seasons, the most of any manager never to reach a World Series.
Gene nomenclature
Gene nomenclature: the standardized naming of genes, chiefly by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), which assigns each human gene a unique symbol, descriptive name, and stable HGNC ID, with about 43,000 approved symbols including roughly 19,000 protein-coding genes.
Gene Okerlund
Gene Okerlund ("Mean Gene", Eugene Arthur Okerlund, 1942–2019) was an American wrestling announcer and backstage interviewer for AWA, WWF/WWE, and WCW; WWE Hall of Fame inductee in 2006.
Gene Ontology
The Gene Ontology is a standardized vocabulary for describing gene functions across all species, founded in 1998 and organized into molecular function, biological process, and cellular component.
Gene Order
Gene order is the sequential location of genes on a chromosome (MeSH D023061). It is non-random in eukaryotes, with co-expressed genes clustered, and its conservation (synteny) versus scrambling underpins comparative genomics and phylogeny reconstruction.
Gene panel testing
Gene panel testing is a diagnostic method that sequences multiple genes associated with a suspected condition, such as cancer or an inherited disease, at once.
Gene Pitney
Gene Pitney (Gene Francis Alan Pitney, 1940 or 1941 to 5 April 2006) was an American singer-songwriter of 1960s hits like "24 Hours from Tulsa" and "Only Love Can Break a Heart," Rock Hall inductee 2002, UK No. 1 in 1989 with Marc Almond.
Gene Pool
Gene pool: all genes and their alleles in a reproducing population or species, defined by Dobzhansky in 1951. Measured by allele frequencies; changed by mutation, drift, selection, and gene flow; used in crop breeding.
Gene prediction
Gene prediction, also called gene finding, is the computational identification of genes in genomic DNA, using ab initio statistical models or external evidence such as RNA-seq.
Gene product 44
Gene product 44 (gp44) names unrelated phage proteins: Mu's essential baseplate hub trimer, T4's ATPase clamp-loader subunit (gp44/62), A118's recombination directionality factor, and SPO1's DNA mimic inhibiting RNA polymerase.
Gene product 70
Gene product 70 (GP70, Pfam PF17429) is a conserved protein domain family of unknown function found in Mycobacterium phage and Actinobacteria; distinct from the retroviral envelope glycoprotein gp70 of murine leukemia virus.
Gene Rayburn
Gene Rayburn (Eugene Peter Jeljenic, 1917–1999), American game show host and radio personality, host of Match Game 1962–1982, WNEW's Rayburn and Finch, and Tonight Show announcer.
Gene Rearrangement
Gene rearrangement: somatic reorganization of DNA, chiefly V(D)J recombination, class switch recombination, and somatic hypermutation in lymphocytes, which generate immune receptor diversity and, when erroneous, oncogenic translocations.
Gene regulatory network
Gene regulatory network (GRN): the web of interactions among transcription factors, cis-regulatory elements, and target genes controlling gene expression; studied via Boolean, ODE, Bayesian, and single-cell inference methods.
Gene replacement therapy
Gene replacement therapy delivers a functional copy of a disease-causing gene into a patient's cells, typically via AAV vectors; the first trial was in 1990, and seven AAV products were FDA-approved by 2025.
Gene Robinson
V. Gene Robinson is a retired Episcopal Church bishop who became the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion when elected Bishop of New Hampshire in 2003.
Gene Roddenberry
Gene Roddenberry (1921–1991), American television writer and producer, LAPD officer and WWII B-17 pilot, created Star Trek (NBC 1966–69) and executive-produced Star Trek: The Next Generation; franchise merchandise reportedly earned about $5 billion.
Gene Saks
Gene Saks (Jean Michael Saks, 1921–2015) was an American stage and film director and actor, a three-time Tony winner who directed eight Neil Simon plays on Broadway and films including The Odd Couple and Mame.
Gene Sarazen
Gene Sarazen (Eugenio Saraceni, 1902–1999), American golfer nicknamed The Squire; won seven majors and was first to complete the career Grand Slam (1935 Masters, shot heard round the world); invented the modern sand wedge.
Gene Shalit
Gene Shalit (Eugene Shalit, 1926-2026), American film critic and arts reporter on NBC's Today show from 1970 to 2010, host of Critic's Corner, known for his mustache, bow ties, and pun-filled movie reviews.
Gene silencing
Gene silencing: suppression of gene expression at transcriptional (TGS) or post-transcriptional (PTGS) levels without altering DNA. Includes RNAi, antisense, quelling, chromatin silencing; discovered in plants around 1990, mechanistically explained by RNA interference.
Gene Simmons (album)
Gene Simmons (1978) is the Kiss bassist's debut solo album, one of four simultaneous Kiss member solo releases on Casablanca, September 18, 1978; it peaked at US #22, the highest of the four, with guests including Cher, Joe Perry, and Rick Nielsen.
