suppression[sə′presh·ən] (computer science) Removal or deletion usually of insignificant digits in a number, especially zero suppression. Optional function in either on-line or off-line printing devices that permits them to ignore certain characters or groups of characters which may be transmitted through them. (electronics) Elimination of any component of an emission, as a particular frequency or group of frequencies in an audio-frequency of a radio-frequency signal. Suppression in genetics, a phenomenon that prevents the appearance of a character resulting from mutation and that causes partial or complete restoration of the normal phenotype. Intragenic suppression is caused by a second (suppressor) mutation in the same gene in which the first (direct) mutation occurred. Intergenic suppression is caused by a second mutation in other genes that are located at a considerable distance from the suppressed gene. In intragenic suppression, a protein coded by a given gene can reacquire functional activity, although its original structure, in contrast to true reverse mutation, or reversion, is not restored. In intergenic suppression, the normal phenotype may be restored in some cases owing to mutations that permit other means of metabolism which do not require the functioning of the given gene. In other cases, the normal phenotype may be restored as a result of mutations that alter the process by which the genetic information of the mutant gene is realized. The phenomenon of suppression, first discovered in 1920 by the American geneticist A. H. Sturtevant, is used to study the genetic code and other aspects of molecular genetics. REFERENCEStent, G.

suppression [sŭ-presh´un] the act of holding back or checking.1. the stopping or inhibition of something, such as a secretion, excretion, normal discharge, or other function.2. in psychiatry, conscious inhibition of an unacceptable impulse or idea as contrasted with repression, which is unconscious.3. in genetics, a second mutation occurring at a site different from the first mutation site and able to mask or suppress the phenotypic expression of the first mutation; the organism appears to be reverted but is in fact doubly mutant.4. inhibition of the erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium to prevent clinical attacks of malaria; used for prophylaxis.5. cortical inhibition of perception of objects in all or part of the visual field of one eye during binocular vision.bone marrow suppression reduction of the cell-forming functions of bone marrow, such as by a drug or because of replacement of the marrow by a disease process.

- (genetics) the mechanism whereby the effects of a primary MUTATION are suppressed or negated by a second mutation, the SUPPRESSOR MUTATION, that occurs at a different site from that of the primary mutation. Thus a function lost by a primary mutation can be totally or partially restored by a suppressor mutation. Suppression may be intergenic, where the suppressor mutation occurs in a different GENE from that of the primary mutation, or intragenic, where the suppressor mutation occurs at a different site in the same gene.
suppression The process by which the brain inhibits the retinal image (or part of it) of one eye, when both eyes are simultaneously stimulated. This occurs to avoid diplopia as in strabismus, in uncorrected anisometropia, in retinal rivalry, etc. Syn. suspenopsia (this term actually refers to voluntary suppression as occurs, for example, when using a monocular microscope with one eye); suspension (most often used when referring to partial suppression).
