  2. GC skew - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC_skew

    [2] [4] [5] Most bacteria and archaea contain only one DNA replication origin. [2] The GC skew is positive and negative in the leading strand and in the lagging strand respectively; therefore, it is expected to see a switch in GC skew sign just at the point of DNA replication origin and terminus.

  3. CpG site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CpG_site

    CpG islands (or CG islands) are regions with a high frequency of CpG sites. Though objective definitions for CpG islands are limited, the usual formal definition is a region with at least 200 bp , a GC percentage greater than 50%, and an observed-to-expected CpG ratio greater than 60%.

  4. Chorionic gonadotropin beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorionic_gonadotropin_beta

    CG is produced by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta and stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy. The beta subunit of CG is encoded by 6 genes which are arranged in tandem and inverted pairs on chromosome 19q13.3 and contiguous with the luteinizing hormone beta subunit gene. [3]

    General chemistry (sometimes referred to as "gen chem") is offered by colleges and universities as an introductory level chemistry course usually taken by students during their first year. [1] The course is usually run with a concurrent lab section that gives students an opportunity to experience a laboratory environment and carry out ...

  7. Biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry

    Biochemistry, or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. [1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at ...

  8. Transversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversion

    Transversion, in molecular biology, refers to a point mutation in DNA in which a single (two ring) purine (A or G) is changed for a (one ring) pyrimidine (T or C), or vice versa. [1] A transversion can be spontaneous, or it can be caused by ionizing radiation or alkylating agents. It can only be reversed by a spontaneous reversion.

  9. GC-content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GC-content

    In molecular biology and genetics, GC-content (or guanine-cytosine content) is the percentage of nitrogenous bases in a DNA or RNA molecule that are either guanine (G) or cytosine (C). [1] This measure indicates the proportion of G and C bases out of an implied four total bases, also including adenine and thymine in DNA and adenine and uracil ...
