adjective ˌekstrəˌkrōməˈsōməlˌekstrəˌkrōməˈsōməl
Biology Situated or operating outside the chromosome.
Example sentencesExamples
- Upon heat shock during larval development, FLP and I-SceI produce the extrachromosomal targeting molecule.
- Circular extrachromosomal Ac and Ds molecules have been described previously, although their origin and possible relation to the circular molecules discussed here is unclear.
- Although it is possible that these extra ND5-like sequences exist as extrachromosomal, episomal DNA, several lines of evidence suggest they are of nuclear origin.
- In this study, I investigated genetic requirements and DNA substrates for DSB repair in S. pombe using a new simple extrachromosomal DSB repair assay.
- Crosses were done between transgenic plants carrying pShortDs and plants containing transposase to analyze the ends of extrachromosomal linear Ds elements.
