Across 2. The structure in the cell nucleus that contains all of the cellular DNA together with a number of proteins that compact and package the DNA. 5. (7, 8) The use of protein information to elucidate the genetic sequence encoding that protein. 7. (5, 4) One of the 20 chemical building blocks that are joined by amide (peptide) linkages to form a polypeptide chain of a protein 9. (2, 5, 5) The theme for the BioInformatics Symposium 2005 12. The existence of a gene in a population in different forms 14. (4, 6) The ability to querying very large databases for knowledge discovery 15. (4, 9) A vast array of heterogeneous data stored in a single logical data repository for querying and manipulation methods. 17. All of the genes possessed by an individual, or in practice, the particular alleles present in a specific genetic locus. 19. The entire protein complement of a given organism. 20. ____________ modelling refers to a process whereby the three-dimensional architecture of biological molecules is interpreted (or predicted), visually represented, and manipulated in order to determine their molecular properties.

Down 1. The field of endeavor that relates to the collection, organization and analysis of large amounts of biological data using networks of computers and databases. 3. Any agent that can cause an increase in the rate of mutations in an organism. 4. A genetic alteration to a cell as a result of the incorporation of DNA from a genetically diferent cell or virus 6. The assembly of complementary single-stranded RNA on a DNA template. 8. DNA molecules resulting from the fusion of DNA from different sources. 10. The joining together of separate DNA or RNA component parts. 11. Any observable feature of an organism that is the result of one or more genes. 13. The complementary RNA copy of DNA formed from a single-stranded DNA template during transcription that migrates from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it is processed into a sequence carrying the information to code for a polypeptide domain. 16. A series of steps defining a procedure or formula for solving a problem, that can be coded into a programming language and executed. 18. The complete genetic content of an organism.

The look has changed! Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.

Use the "Printable HTML" button to get a clean page, in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button to print. This page won't have buttons or ads, just your puzzle. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page. The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!
