  2. Directionality (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directionality_(molecular...

    In a single strand of DNA or RNA, the chemical convention of naming carbon atoms in the nucleotide pentose-sugar-ring means that there will be a 5′ end (usually pronounced "five-prime end"), which frequently contains a phosphate group attached to the 5′ carbon of the ribose ring, and a 3′ end (usually pronounced "three-prime end"), which ...

  3. Sticky and blunt ends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_and_blunt_ends

    A single-stranded non-circular DNA molecule has two non-identical ends, the 3' end and the 5' end (usually pronounced "three prime end" and "five prime end"). The numbers refer to the numbering of carbon atoms in the deoxyribose, which is a sugar forming an important part of the backbone of the DNA molecule.

  4. DNA end resection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_end_resection

    DNA end resection, also called 5′–3′ degradation, is a biochemical process where the blunt end of a section of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is modified by cutting away some nucleotides from the 5' end to produce a 3' single-stranded sequence.

  5. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    DNA strands have a directionality, and the different ends of a single strand are called the "3′ (three-prime) end" and the "5′ (five-prime) end". By convention, if the base sequence of a single strand of DNA is given, the left end of the sequence is the 5′ end, while the right end of the sequence is the 3′ end.

  6. Paired-end tag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paired-end_tag

    Paired-end tags (PET) (sometimes "Paired-End diTags", or simply "ditags") are the short sequences at the 5and 3' ends of a DNA fragment which are unique enough that they (theoretically) exist together only once in a genome, therefore making the sequence of the DNA in between them available upon search (if full-genome sequence data is available) or upon further sequencing (since tag sites ...

  7. Five-prime cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-prime_cap

    In molecular biology, the five-prime cap (5′ cap) is a specially altered nucleotide on the 5′ end of some primary transcripts such as precursor messenger RNA. This process, known as mRNA capping , is highly regulated and vital in the creation of stable and mature messenger RNA able to undergo translation during protein synthesis .

  8. Prime end - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_end

    The set of prime ends of the domain B is the set of equivalence classes of chains of arcs converging to a point on the boundary of B. In this way, a point in the boundary may correspond to many points in the prime ends of B, and conversely, many points in the boundary may correspond to a point in the prime ends of B. [3]

  9. List of prime numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_numbers

    A cluster prime is a prime p such that every even natural number k ≤ p − 3 is the difference of two primes not exceeding p. 3 , 5 , 7 , 11 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 , ... ( OEIS : A038134 )
