Converse of object

• inherit: To be affected by the disease, which shows autosomal recessive inheritance, a baby must inherit a mutant allele from each parent.

• carry: There is also a slightly elevated creatine kinase level in females carrying a DMD disease allele.

• associate: Association studies The approach used to identify SNP alleles associated with disease susceptibility is conceptually quite straightforward.

Preposition: at

• locus: Multiple alleles at multiple gene loci plus environmental factors are involved in neural tube defects.

• marker: Bits are coded 0 or 1 according to whether the sib inherited its alleles at the marker from paternally or maternal derived chromosome.

Adjective modifier

• recessive: Here the recessive allele produces the ordinary blue, also called English blue or American blue.

• paternal: These sequence variants are called maternal and paternal alleles.

• mutant: A very few new mutant alleles can drift to fixation in this manner.

• deleterious: I am interested to see if purging of deleterious alleles by selection is occurring in captive populations.

• maternal: However, this approach is not suitable for the analysis of fetal genetic traits that do not differ largely from the maternal alleles.

• expanded: Expanded alleles at all of these loci are unstable, with frequent length changes during intergenerational transmission.

Preposition: on

• chromosome: If there is a green allele on chromosome 19 and the rest of the alleles are blue, eye color will be green.

Modifies a noun

• frequency: Genetically, races differ with respect to allele frequencies rather than in the possession of unique alleles.

Preposition: of

• gene: A locus can be occupied by any of the alleles of the gene.

Noun used with modifier

• premutation: Conclusions: Individuals carrying premutation alleles are at high risk of having affected offspring within a limited number of generations.

• wild-type: In 5/6 patients the wild-type allele was lost in the tumor samples, suggesting a causal role for the mutations in RCC.

• susceptibility: The susceptibility alleles underlying at least 70 % of the familial risk of breast cancer remain to be identified.

• marker: Model-based linkage disequilibrium unit ( LDU ) maps appear robust to marker density and consistently influenced by marker allele frequency.

• T: The T allele was associated with higher excretion rates than the C allele.

• resistance: By this time probably something like half of the alleles in the population are for resistance alleles.
