genedeletion
Gene deletion refers to a type of mutation that occurs when a segment of a chromosome is lost or removed. This loss can range from a single nucleotide to large portions of a chromosome, encompassing multiple genes. Gene deletions can arise spontaneously during DNA replication or be caused by environmental factors such as radiation or certain chemicals. The consequences of a gene deletion depend heavily on the size of the deleted segment and the specific genes affected.
Small deletions that do not disrupt essential genes might have no observable effect. However, larger deletions
In research and biotechnology, gene deletion is a deliberate technique used to study gene function. By removing
