Intergenic suppressor
Restoration of partial or complete wild-type phenotype by second mutation in a different gene than a primary mutation which resulted in a negative phenotype.
intergenic The portions of a genome that are not considered to lie within a defined gene. Intergenic regions may overlap with genic regions on the complement strand.
Intergenic regions. DNA sequences located between genes that comprise a large percentage of the human genome with no known function.
Introgression. Backcrossing of hybrids of two plant populations to introduce new genes into a wild population.

Related Terms:
Intergenic DNA
Any of the DNA sequences flanking the eukaryotic genes at 3' and/or 5'. The sequences are transcribed but function is unclear.
Intergenic
Involving more than one gene, e.g. intergenic mutations (structure changes of chromosomes); cf intragenic
Related Terms:
Gene family
Groups of closely related genes that make similar products.
Intergenic: Between two genes; e.g. intergenic DNA is the DNA found between two genes. The term is often used to mean non-functional DNA (or at least DNA with no known importance to the two genes flanking it).
