MBio - Microbial Genetics and Mutation

Types of point mutation
- Silent
- Missense
- Nonsense
Suppresor mutation

Mutation in a different site from another mutation that corrects the problem (causes reversion)
Group mutations
- Deletions
- Insertions
- Translocations
- Iversions
Types of chemicial mutagen
- Base analogs - 5-bromouracil
- DNA Modifying agents - Nitrosoguanidine (methylation)
- Intercalating agents - Benzopyrene
Radiation that causes pyrimidine dimers
- Low power, low penetration
- Sunlight
Methods of recombination
- Meiosis - Eukaryotes, animals
- Horizontal gene transfer - Prokaryotes
Homologous recombination

Exchange of alleles between chromosomes
Recombination of foreign DNA
- Homologous recombination
- Site specific recombination
- Transposition
Types of horizontal gene transfer
- Transformation - Competance (Natural, artificial)
- Transduction - Viral vector
- Conjugation - Bidirectional DNA transfer
