• MutationRelated: Mutations within genes can change their products or regulation.

• Mendelian inheritanceNarrower topic: Mendelian patterns track alternative forms of genes across generations.

• ChromosomeBroader topic: Genes are functional sequences arranged along chromosomes.

• ProteinRelated: Genes encode many proteins, though gene expression includes several steps beyond translation.

• Prenatal diagnosisNarrower topic: Some prenatal diagnoses identify variants in particular genes rather than chromosome-wide changes.

• Molecular biologyRelated: Genes connect genome sequences to molecular products and cellular effects.

• GenotypeRelated: Genotypes specify which versions of genes an organism carries.

• Synthetic biologyNarrower topic: Genes are the basic information-bearing units altered in many synthetic designs.

• TranscriptionNarrower topic: A gene's transcribed region provides the DNA sequence copied into RNA.

• Recombinant DNARelated: Genes are common inserts in recombinant DNA constructs.

• GenomeBroader topic: Genes are functional regions within a genome.

• GenomicsRelated: Genes are key functional units located and studied within genomes.

• Genetic linkageNarrower topic: Linkage concerns how different genes are transmitted together.

• Homologous chromosomesRelated: Homologues carry corresponding genes at matching positions.

• Hardy–Weinberg principleNarrower topic: The principle tracks variants at a gene locus.

• GeneticsBroader topic: Genes are the units whose inheritance and variation genetics investigates.

• MemeticsCompared with: Genes provide the model for replication that memetics applies to cultural information.

• Sex chromosomeNarrower topic: Sex chromosomes matter through the genes they carry and regulate.

• Chromosome theory of inheritanceBroader topic: The theory places genes on chromosomes as discrete hereditary units.

• Y chromosomeNarrower topic: Genes on the Y encode products involved in development and sperm production.

• Genetic heterogeneityNarrower topic: Different genes are the distinct genetic locations whose variants can yield similar conditions.

• Genetic disorderNarrower topic: Many disorders arise when a gene’s sequence or activity is altered.

• MemeCompared with: The meme analogy borrows the gene’s role as a replicating unit, despite major differences.

• MutagenesisNarrower topic: Mutations within genes can alter their products or expression.

• Chromosomal translocationNarrower topic: Translocation breakpoints can interrupt genes or bring them under different regulatory control.

• Medical geneticsRelated: Many inherited disorders result from variants affecting a gene's function.

• Molecular geneticsBroader topic: Genes are the units whose molecular structure and activity the field examines.

• Independent assortmentRelated: Independent assortment concerns the inheritance of alleles at different genes.

• IntronNarrower topic: Introns are parts of many genes, alongside exons and regulatory sequences.

• Site-directed mutagenesisNarrower topic: Mutations are introduced into genes to test their roles or alter their products.

• Transposable elementCompared with: Unlike genes defined by their products, elements are distinguished by their capacity for movement.

• PseudogeneNarrower topic: Pseudogenes resemble genes but have lost or lack their original productive capacity.

• Human genomeBroader topic: Genes are functional regions embedded within the genome.

• Reverse geneticsNarrower topic: Reverse genetics begins by selecting a gene whose role is unknown or incomplete.

• Boveri–Sutton chromosome theoryBroader topic: The theory located hereditary factors on chromosomes, later identified as genes.

• Protein isoformNarrower topic: A gene is the shared source from which its protein isoforms arise.

• Non-coding DNANarrower topic: Non-coding DNA includes genes whose functional products are RNA rather than protein.

• Dominant traitNarrower topic: Alleles of a gene can produce different versions of a heritable characteristic.

• Metabolic disorderRelated: Inherited variants in genes can alter metabolic proteins and cause disease.

• OperonNarrower topic: An operon organizes several genes under shared transcriptional control.

• Genetic phenomenaBroader topic: Genes are the basic units whose activity and variation underlie genetic phenomena.

• Regulation of gene expressionNarrower topic: Regulation changes the output of genes, including protein-coding and noncoding genes.

• Y linkageNarrower topic: Y linkage concerns genes located on the same Y chromosome.
