  2. Overhang (vehicles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhang_(vehicles)

    Rear overhang may present a problem in large vehicles such as buses. Long rear overhang would require the driver to pay attention to nearby vehicles when turning at 90 degrees. Since the rear overhang is outside the wheelbase, it may hit a vehicle in the adjacent lane, especially when turning 90 degrees right (in a right-hand drive country).

  3. Sticky and blunt ends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_and_blunt_ends

    The product is joined with a linear DNA molecule with a 3' thymine overhang. Since adenine and thymine form a base pair, this facilitates the joining of the two molecules by a ligase, yielding a circular molecule. Here is an example of an A-overhang: 5'-ATCTGACTA-3' 3'-TAGACTGA-5' Longer overhangs are called cohesive ends or sticky ends. [3]

  4. Ligation (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligation_(molecular_biology)

    The discovery of DNA ligase dates back to 1967 and was an important event in the field of molecular biology. [1] Ligation in the laboratory is normally performed using T4 DNA ligase . It is broadly used in vitro due to its capability of joining sticky-ended fragments as well as blunt-ended fragments. [ 2 ]

  5. Tetrapod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod

    A notable characteristic that make a tetrapod's skull different from a fish's are the relative frontal and rear portion lengths. The fish had a long rear portion while the front was short; the orbital vacuities were thus located towards the anterior end. In the tetrapod, the front of the skull lengthened, positioning the orbits farther back on ...

    This glossary of biology terms is a list of definitions of fundamental terms and concepts used in biology, the study of life and of living organisms.It is intended as introductory material for novices; for more specific and technical definitions from sub-disciplines and related fields, see Glossary of cell biology, Glossary of genetics, Glossary of evolutionary biology, Glossary of ecology ...

  7. Turtle shell - Wikipedia

    Anteriorly there are two epiplastra, with the hyoplastra behind them. These enclose the singular entoplastron. These make up the front half of the plastron and the hyoplastron contains the anterior bridge strut. The posterior half is made up of two hypoplastra (containing the posterior bridge strut) and the rear is a pair of xiphiplastra. [3] [4]

  8. Hi-C (genomic analysis technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-C_(genomic_analysis...

    The outline of the classical Hi-C workflow is as follows: cells are cross-linked with formaldehyde; chromatin is digested with a restriction enzyme that generates a 5’ overhang; the 5’ overhang is filled with biotinylated bases and the resulting blunt-ended DNA is ligated. [1]

  9. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on. As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axes. The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal.
