  Example sentencesExamples

  The new analysis confirmed the existence of 1,098 protein-coding genes on the X chromosome.
  Proteins encoded by the abnormal genes are then identified and their interactions studied by pathway analyses and probable functions deduced.
  In other mollusks a relatively small number of mitochondrial genes are transcribed from the second strand.
  Each of these species contains opsin genes which are not expressed in the adult retina.

Origin

Early 20th century: from German Gen, from Pangen, a supposed ultimate unit of heredity (from Greek pan- 'all' + genos 'race, kind, offspring').

The word gene is from German Gen, from Pangen (from Greek pan- ‘all’ and genos ‘race, kind, offspring’), a supposed ultimate unit of heredity. Genetic (mid 19th century) started out meaning ‘arising from a common origin’: this is from genesis (Old English) ‘creation’, on the pattern of pairs such as antithesis and antithetic.
