A transcriptional activator is a protein that increases transcription genetics gene transcription of a gene or set of genes. Most activators are DNA binding proteins . Most activators function by binding sequence specifically to a DNA site located in or near a promoter genetics promoter and making protein protein interactions with the general transcription machinery RNA polymerase and general transcription factor s , thereby facilitating the binding of the general transcription machinery to the promoter. The DNA site bound by the activator is referred to as an activator site. The part of the activator that makes protein protein interactions with the general transcription machinery is referred to as an activating region. The part of the general transcription machinery that makes protein protein interactions with the activator is referred to as an activation target.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as molecular genetics .

For most prokaryotic chromosomes , the replicon is the entire chromosome. One notable exception found comes from archaea , where two Sulfolobus species have been shown to contain three replicons.

Forward genetics is an approach that encompasses several means of identifying the gene or set of genes that are responsible for a particular phenotype within an organism. Initially, this entailed the generation of random mutations in an organism, often through radiation or insertional mutagenesis ex. Sleeping Beauty transposon system Sleeping Beauty , and then through a series of breeding of subsequent generations, isolating individuals with an aberrant phenotype. Today there are many different means of following the general path of altering the genotype to observe the phenotype, several of which within the genomic era can be useful in the study of functional genomics . Forward genetics can be thought of as a counter to reverse genetics , which seeks to alter genes in order to illuminate their multiple phenotypes. Classical forward genetics By the classical genetics approach, a researcher would then locate map the gene on its chromosome by crossbreeding with individuals that carry other unusual traits and collecting statistics on how frequently the two traits are inherited together. Classical geneticists would have used phenotypic traits to map the new mutant alleles. Eventually the hope is that such screens would reach a large enough scale that most or all newly generated mutations would represent a second hit of a locus, essentially saturating the genome with mutations. This type of saturation mutagenesis within classical experiments was used to define sets of genes that were a bare minimum for the appearance of specific phenotypes. ref Greg Gibson and Spencer V.
