Sequence Homology
| Medical Definition: |
The degree of similarity between sequences. Studies of amino acid and nucleotide sequences provide useful information about the genetic relatedness of certain species. |
| Guide Notes: |
GEN or unspecified; prefer specifics; DF: SEQ HOMOL |
| Also Called: |
Homologous Sequences |
| Previously Indexed: |
Amino Acid Sequence (1967-1992),Base Sequence (1971-1992),Molecular Sequence Data (1988-1992),Nucleic Acid Hybridization (1971-1985) |
Sequence Homology Categories.
 |
Sequence Homology, Amino Acid - The degree of similarity between sequences of amino acids. This information is useful for the understanding of genetic relatedness of certain species. |
|
Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid - The sequential correspondence of nucleotide triplets in a nucleic acid molecule which permits nucleic acid hybridization. Sequence homology is important in the study of mechanisms of oncogenesis and also as an indication of the evolutionary relatedness of different organisms. The concept includes viral homology. |
