    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_Analysis_of_Gene...

    Cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) is a gene expression technique used in molecular biology to produce a snapshot of the 5′ end of the messenger RNA population in a biological sample (the transcriptome).

  3. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    The goal is ultimately to understand how the movement of individual limbs relates to the overall movement of an animal within its environment. Below highlights the key kinematic parameters used to quantify body and limb movement for different modes of animal locomotion.

  4. Rubric (academic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubric_(academic)

    A scoring rubric typically includes dimensions or "criteria" on which performance is rated, definitions and examples illustrating measured attributes, and a rating scale for each dimension. Joan Herman, Aschbacher, and Winters identify these elements in scoring rubrics: [3] Traits or dimensions serving as the basis for judging the student response

Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements is a series of scientific photographs by Eadweard Muybridge made in 1884 and 1885 at the University of Pennsylvania, to study motion in animals (including humans).

  6. Phototaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototaxis

    Phototaxis is a kind of taxis, or locomotory movement, that occurs when a whole organism moves towards or away from a stimulus of light. [2] This is advantageous for phototrophic organisms as they can orient themselves most efficiently to receive light for photosynthesis. Phototaxis is called positive if the movement is in the direction of ...

  7. Serial analysis of gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_analysis_of_gene...

    The tag frequency can be used to report on transcription of the gene that the tag came from. [1] Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is a transcriptomic technique used by molecular biologists to produce a snapshot of the messenger RNA population in a sample of interest in the form of small tags that correspond to fragments of those ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_testing_on_rodents

    In the UK in 2015, there were 3.33 million procedures on rodents (80% of total procedures that year). The most common species used were mice (3.03 million procedures, or 73% of the total) and rats (268,522, or 6.5%).

  9. Undulatory locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undulatory_locomotion

    Undulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of gait include crawling in snakes, or swimming in the lamprey. Although this is typically the type of gait utilized by limbless animals, some creatures with limbs, such as the salamander, forgo ...
